To the best of my knowledge the format was never cracked and the disks are
unplayable. Since the discs contain inferior transfers (mostly pan and
scan), without supplemental features, of films that have all been released
in superior fashion on real DVDs, there was never really much incentive for
anyone to spend much effort on this once the format died.
