>Coder Charles H Hannum has created the smallest program
>capable of decoding a Content Scrambling System (CSS) DVD file,
>beating last week's seven-line Perl shell script 442 bytes to 472
>excluding newline bytes).
>
>Hannum's C program, called efdtt, is no slouch, either. The
>programmer claims it can "descramble in excess of 21.5MBps" -
>faster than the DVD spec. allows for. The speed comes "without
>even particularly trying to optimise the I/O. This makes it pretty
>insignificant compared to the rest of the decoding process" = in
>other words, it's quick enough not to impede the MPEG 2 decode
>operation which turns the data into a moving image.

>Apparently, the latter may be a problem with qrpff, the Perl CSS
>descrambler written by Keith Winstein and Marc Horowitz, and
>posted on Carnegie Mellon University professor David Touretzky's
>DSS Descrambler Gallery Web site. Winstein and Horowitz' code
>was capable of supporting realtime decode and playback, but we're
>told the output was occasionally jerky.
>
>Hannum's code should allow smooth playback.
>
>Both scripts do what the controversial DVD-on-Linux utility DeCSS
>does - and demonstrate how simple CSS, the DVD standard's
>copyright protection mechanism, is to decode. The Motion Picture
>Association of America has been pretty successful in repressing the
>distribution of DeCSS, viewing it as a threat to movie industry
>copyright - and movie industry profits.

>"So what's the MPAA gonna do now?" Touretzky asks. "This code
>is small enough to put on a cocktail napkin. Commit to memory. Knit
>into a scarf. Whatever. It cannot be suppressed." ®

Perl is amazing...
