DTCP-IP Support in VLC

[JonathonM]

I have a Panasonic Freeview HDD recorder which also allows stored content to be shared via DLNA. I have been using VLC to stream video from the DLNA server to my PC and then transcoding it into H264 files. However, some of the files are copyrighted and cannot be streamed to VLC (they show all fuzzy when trying to play them). The only client I have which will happily view these files is my PS3 with DTCP-IP enabled.

Is it possible to implement DTCP-IP into VLC? It would be fantastic if it were possible.

The protocol is encrypted. So even if someone found how the protocol works and implemented it, it would probably not work due to missing cryptographic keys.

Of course, given the protocol specification is confidential, nothing is for certain.

Thanks for your reply. Do you know of any software for PC which can stream these files? Preferrably free

No, and even if I did, I would not cite them since the specification is not compatible with open-source.
