We're still screwed...
But the theory of the edits could be translated by some program, but then we're trampling on Clearplays patents...


Then again, the format of DVD is by no means *fixed*, as some day they are prone to degenerate. So therefore.... given time.... the burden of proof should be on the shoulders of the copyright holder to prove what a truly *fixed* copy is....

(if it wasn't broken in the first place it wouldn't need to be fixed)
