I hope I'm not committing a crime by doing this but here ya go bunkie:

     /*     efdtt.c     Author:  Charles M. Hannum
     <root at ihack.net>             */
     /*
     */
     /*     Thanks to Phil Carmody <fatphil at asdf.org> for additional
     tweaks.    */
     /*
     */
     /*     Length:  434 bytes (excluding unnecessary
     newlines)                 */
     /*
     */
     /*     Usage is:  cat title-key scrambled.vob | efdtt
     >clear.vob           */

     #define m(i)(x[i]^s[i+84])<<
     unsigned char
     x[5],y,s[2048];main(n){for(read(0,x,5);read(0,s,n=2048);write(1,s
     ,n))if(s[y=s[13]%8+20]/16%4==1){int
     i=m(1)17^256+m(0)8,k=m(2)0,j=m(4)17^m(3)9^k
     *2-k%8^8,a=0,c=26;for(s[y]-=16;--c;j*=2)a=a*2^i&1,i=i/2^j&1<<24;for(j=127;++j<n

     ;c=c>y)c+=y=i^i/8^i>>4^i>>12,i=i>>8^y<<17,a^=a>>14,y=a^a*8^a<<6,a=a>>8^y<<9,k=s

     [j],k="7Wo~'G_\216"[k&7]+2^"cr3sfw6v;*k+>/n."[k>>4]*2^k*257/8,s[j]=k^(k&k*2&34)

     *6^c+~y;}}

Also I since read that this solution decodes much faster than real-time while the
Perl solution is "jerky" to say the least.
