Now, ideally, as I said, *I* would like to see the old player hacked into the latest firmware, signed, and released. That would be TRULY useful IMO.

Plextor (CD and DVD-writers) Humax (DVB STBs) Of course there are others, including Panasonic and Sharp and JVC and Samsung and so on, but since I don't own such gear I can express myself in an authoritative manner. There's however a good thing, everything that Sony created on its own ended sooner or later at the history garbage can: SuperCassette, MiniDisk, MicroMV, MemoryStick, soon PS3 Coming back to the OT, the Intellectual Property is actually the last thing the Western World possess, as all the manufacturing centers were relocated to China. So they enforce them to squeeze money so long they can (I mean until the Chinese will be able to copy the technology, too) ... but I don't care, for many sound reasons. |

@xenex Actually, the first Cinavia-infected release was "The Losers", a Warner Bros. release. So far, all other such releases have been by SONY. Last edited by setarip_old; 3rd January 2011 at 23:07. |

Has there not been another WB Cinavia infected release since The Losers? Fascinating. I haven't been keeping score in regards to the studios that have Cinavia embedded in some of their releases. I would have thought WB would start using it more.

So, back on the topic of DEFEATING Cinavia, this link was just posted on SlySoft:
http://www.mkv2vob.com/showthread.php?tid=1962 That's extremely interesting!

And no, it was JUST posted on SlySoft before I posted it here. And from the looks of the posts on the mkv2vob forum, this particular release looks broken anyway. I'm going to keep an eye on their forum for sure, though. This could be an interesting development.

The tool as described by its author, "3r1c", sounds like it's a similar (not identical) concept to the hardware-only procedure in item #5 of Post #405 by "Eza17" (and confirmed as working by "b66pak" in Post #411) of this thread, to wit:

So now the question becomes: will Cinavia be updated so that implementing devices not only decode all LPCM tracks as such and check for the watermark, but also check all LPCM tracks for embedded DTS/DD/etc signals, and if detected, decode as such and again check for the watermark?

@A.Fenderson
Hi! As I said in my earlier post:"I believe this could send the Cinavia folks back to the drawing board" And who could ask for anything more? The chase is on ;>} As one would have anticipated when "The Losers" first hit the streets, it was only going to be a short period of time until methods of defeating Cinavia would be discovered. Quite honestly I, for one, did not anticipate that apparent solutions (four - one software, one hardware/firmware mod, one multi-audio input "trick, and remarkably, simply changing the state of ONE VARIABLE!)) would appear this early on. All four of the solutions address only the PS3. This is logical and beneficial, in light of the size of the PS3s user base versus the user bases of each individual brand of standalone Blu-ray player. And it may put smiles on the faces of some, to appreciate that, with the exception of one title, thus far all Cinavia-infected discs have been SONY releases. I'm sure solutions regarding standalones will follow. I believe we'll all be delighted with the existing and near future solutions to come. Kudos to those who have the knowledge and dedication to solve these periodic "mysteries" - and are good enough to share them with the community ;>} |

Full-bitrate, 48KHz DTS within PCM may not be expected by the majority of DTS-capable receivers, but 44.1KHz DTS-CD style audio might--did your setup allow you to try that? Then again, I don't know if that type of stream can be encapsulated properly in a 48KHz pcm stream, and with the different sampling rates it seems unlikely, besides I think you'd need something like SurCode to reencode down to the lower bit/sampling-rate anyway.

The next step re: Cinavia? - Mods to PS3 firmware
Apparently, the discovery last week by "failOverflow" (of changing the status of a solitary variable) has quickly led to software that will allow users to modify the PS3's firmware.
The potential regarding circumvention of Cinavia protection on PS3s should be all too obvious. Click on the following link: http://kotaku.com/5725088/you-can-no...m-ps3-firmware |

As I was updating my rebox.NET tool over the weekend I thought I’d have a mess with some Cinavia titles to see if any PS3 settings and/or different output types from rebox.NET could give me successful playback of these titles. Obviously I can only speak for my own setup, FAT PS3 PAL, connected to TV (old plasma) via component cable, standard stereo output leads to TV.
PS3 audio (default): refers to my default audio settings, menu option 'Audio Input Connector /SCART / AV MULTI’ PS3 audio (all enabled): refers to the ‘audio trick’ mentioned in a few places around the net, menu option ‘Optical Digital’ and select all outputs. I tried many sequences of playback order, sometimes MP4 first, sometimes audio default, sometimes playing one then switching to another, the only difference this would make is Cinavia would ‘kick in’ on titles before the 20 minute ‘grace’ period, especially after I’d received a warning then switch to another title. But, like the picture shows, with all the audio outputs ticked, the TS files always played OK, no matter how I tried to get it to fail. Maybe this info will be of use to some people. |
