I am unfortunately almost never on IRC currently.
The problem with the AACS task is that it was originally meant to cover
HD-DVD and BluRay, however I feel we might have trouble getting HD-DVD
samples.
For BluRay the infrastructure to pass the key to the proper layer (stream
layer IMO here) is not even there.
So if you want to do this task I would suggest coming up with a design
of how the decryption would fit into FFmpeg and a minimal "demo"
implementation as far as you can get as a qualification task.
If others have comments that would be welcome, because I haven't thought
about this proposed task since over a year and am no longer 100% sure
about it anymore.
