AACS is a standard for <a href="/wiki/Digital_distribution" title="Digital distribution">content distribution</a> and <a href="/wiki/Digital_rights_management" title="Digital rights management">digital rights management</a>.

One of the advantages over <a href="/wiki/Content_Scramble_System" title="Content Scramble System">CSS</a>, the content restriction system for DVDs, is that AACS allows content providers to revoke an individual player device model if its cryptographic keys have been compromised (meaning that it will not be able to decrypt subsequently released content).

DVD replication companies can continue using their current production equipment with only minor alterations when changing over to the format of HD DVD replication. Due to the structure of the single-lens optical head, both red and blue laser diodes can be used in smaller, more compact HD DVD players.
