As long as you can aim a camera at a monitor or put a Bluetooth speaker next to a microphone the analogue loop hole will never disappear.
- blibble 5y agofingerprinting can survive both of those
- fluoridation 5y agoWhile someone is busy tracing that fingerprint, everyone has already copied and watched the video.
- blibble 5y agothe fingerprint disables the camera (or puts it into some sort of crappy mode) if you want a real world example of this in practice: search for the EURIon constellation
- fluoridation 5y agoUse an old camera.
- blibble 5y agothen when you try ingesting the footage into the machine/cpu/hard drive/router/cloud storage/... it's not really something you can win as an individual on an infinite timescale (unless you plan to keep your VHS around for the next few hundred years)
- syshum 5y agoif that becomes the only avenue to rip a movie wide spread distribution of said movie with out permission will die The idea that you would have lots of people getting up camera's and monitors to record a movie for distribution on the internet is laughable, and it would be a cam quality today so you would just end up with the early releases capture via someone setting in a theater which are generally poor quality
- toyg 5y agoPoor quality but they still exist. If all digital versions were made unfeasible, you can bet good money that camripping would become more popular - and probably result in better-quality approaches at some point.
- foo_barrio 5y agoI think software can create a good version of a video taken from a middle-tier camera. My 8-year-old DSLR, Nikon D750, can take 4k video at 60fps. Its sensor has more dynamic range than even high-end screens can produce. When I take a picture of my TV I can see individual pixels. That camera can capture every bit of info my screen is putting out. I bet from a 4k/60fps video from my camera you can process it to produce something closer to a 1080p/30fps BlueRay rip. This was not the case with handy-cam theater rips. Those things were at best 480p and could never capture the picture projected on a screen even in the best conditions.
- easrng 5y agoYeah, with a known resolution (1920x1080) and a stable camera it shouldn't be to hard to get a near-perfect rip.
- ziml77 5y agoThen people will make a complex device that hooks in where the LED/LCD grid does and converts the signals intended to drive the panel into a video feed for recording. And making a device that directly takes the output of a Bluetooth device's DAC (or even grabbing the digital output directly) should be even trivial.
- Qub3d 5y agoAbsolutely! It wouldn't be easy, and would need some adjustments for colorspace etc but this is a method I have seen discussed online before. The speaker part is much easier. At some point in almost all modern audio systems, there will be a PCM signal as part of the DAC step. Hook in here, pipe that signal to a computer's audio in / microphone port, and you've got a pretty clean audio stream.
