De-scramble Cable with A PC
Let me know in another 10 years how close it is again. By then, for all you
know, real time software MPEG decryption may be commonplace. But not, I imagine, in, choke, Visual C++. Totally inappropriate to use a high level language for such a function. "Dale Green" wrote in message ... Go buy yourself Visual C++ and show us how it's done. Anyway, North America is moving towards encrypted MPEG digital cable. Have fun doing that in real time in software. |

C and its derivatives are used for just about everything these days including digital signal processing. OTOH, decryption by brute force isn't going to work in realtime with any language.

Don't go crying that something can't be done when you won't write critical real time parts of the code in assembler and rely instead on high level languages that effectively slow your processor by an order of magnitude. Or maybe programmers have grown lazy and can't be troubled to understand the hardware enough to talk directly to it with custom device handlers? I'm not saying everyone can do this, but for those who can, the raw power of these microwave frequency processors is astounding. Whether you can do it in a closed source OS like Windows is another matter. |
