I have some awesome news......

I NOW have the PCM audio for Ep. III. At this point I do not have permission from my partner to go into detail but we've been working in tandem quietly so that this project could happen or fail without too much pressure.

He gets ALL the credit for the work as he figured it out ..... I just supplied the source material and miscellaneous stuff for him to work with.

Certainly an early X-mas present.

:)

Congratulations! Well done both of you.

Thank you all kindly. And, for a brief explanation of what happened...

Brute Force was tried and failed. The actual encryption algorithm was found to be weak so figuring out encryption key was easy. A singular .exe program was compiled for the specific discs of audio as each set probably has their own separate encryption key so it's a 1 shot deal.

The lucky part ..... the encryption didn't change throughout the soundtrack, other wise I'd only have a piece of the puzzle.

At this point, I now have PCM audio from the encrypted .aue files. This has been a cool journey but it's not over. We obviously are going to do other testing to see what can be done, if anything, to create something more universal for this subject matter.

Thanks to my partner Maxim in this. He was nothing but cordial, understanding, helpful, and 100% gracious.

The cool thing about this .exe program is that I can use it to convert the .aud files straight to 5 channel PCM so I'm going through the discs I do have and redoing the reels. They will still have to go through some processing but I'd think this is a better way to go to keep the quality.

Cheers to ALL of us ....... the circle (of DTS audio) is now complete.

That's excellent news! Any word on how/when we can get these files?

I will make sure that those who'd like access to the audio get it ...... :)
