Cinavia Messages when playing Blu Ray disc

[1fast1]

Better to get China brand or local brand DVD/Bluray players. Most are region free for friendly play

 

No lah, I find LG to be the best compromise. Not really significantly more expensive than China brand players, and got big name support and quality.

i also have this problem when i use my PS3 to play the BR disc. Anyone knows which player can bypass? wanna get 1

Korean girls hard to find. China girls easy to find. I use this analogy to make life more lively

As far as I know, Sony players cannot be unlocked to be made region-free. Sony is one of the worst offenders when it comes to aggressive DRM (Digital Rights Management). That's why I don't support them. Buy a Korean player - LG players are easily unlocked with the standard remote.

 

Yeap, Sony produced movies as well.

 

So definitely, they are one of the "worst" culprit.

 

I won't buy any Sony product either.

 

Pioneer seemed to be one of the less aggressive supporter.

Nothing to do with region at all. Cinavia is activated if you play chiong sony released blu-ray. Only way out is to buy a cinavia free player. LG seems the best.

Wow, it's like those greedy idiots are actively driving even their law-abiding, BR buying customers toward torrenting. Torrented files are not just DRM-free, they're literally free.

For TV, I go for 720p.

 

For movies, it's nothing but full 1080p for me.

is philips affected...thoght of buying a philips

[Jojoman]

let's revive this thread. Cinavia topics are very actively discussed in else overseas thread.

 

Some findings here:-

We not talking about original discs

 

If you have or managed to get your Cinavia protected Blu Ray player hacked........great.....then avoid Blu Ray movies under Sxxx Entertainment.....cause not all producers embrace this Cinavia b-------t stuff........Sxxx blu ray movies still have the Cinavia watermark embedded in the discs itself......almost impossible to rip. Managed to got a brand player that have Cinavia removed, but the above type of discs still LLLL, cause the water mark in the disc.......suck thumb.

 

Now will try to get someone at Sxx Lim to hack my Sxxx Blu Ray player Cinavia protection......or I will go back to Sxxx to make a scene and get them to remove the Cinavia mark....I doubt they do it......

 

Those wanting to buy Blu Ray player graetly avoid Sxxx & Samxxxx.......Pioneer/LG/Palladine/Panasonic should be OK......rule of thumb is to get older model as those not affected by the C bug...

 

I dun believe the whole s'pore no one knows how to crack the Cinavia protection!!!!

[Kb27]

Since BR player is getting cheaper by the day, just buy one that don't care about cinavia.

 

The same thing you do when you buy dvd player, ask the salesman if it's region-free.

No region-free, forget it.

 

No need to support Sony.

[Kungfu]

Correct.....BD player cheaper and cheaper...but as of Feb 2012....all BD player MUST come with Cinavia protection as Sxxx managed to convince some high motion picture authority to pass the ruling. Now quite hard to get a model Cinavia free....unless older version where the firmware not upgraded yet

 

.......just bought a Pioneer 3D Blu Ray HT system with Receiver....only $249. My set is Cinavia free so can play almost all Blu Ray movies....but just share avoid movies under Sxxx Entertainment as the water mark still in the discs itself, even though your player is free......I tested and fully able to play movies under Paramount etc......

 

Just community sharing

 

Not all brand embraces Cinavia...............which is total b-------t

Cinavia protection survives re-encoding, so torrented files will still have cinavia protection in tact.

You're right. The only way out is to use a media player that doesn't support Cinavia, in which case it won't matter at all. My point was that this sort of behaviour on the part of the media companies makes it easy to rationalise "pirate" behaviour.
