cinavia work around?

[shmogt]

This is driving me insane. For anyone who doesn't know cinavia is the new way Hollywood is trying to block pirated videos. You put a blue ray or file in and it cuts your audio off. Such ******** when the ps3 update hit with it secretly built in a little while ago stopping you from watching pirated blue rays. The worst part is even if it's just a legal copy you made the audio will still cut off. I need to know a solution and I also think it's pretty unfair that I payed money for a device (ps3) to be able to do stuff like this than years later they take away features. Someone owes us some money back.

Anyways does anyone know a way around this? I would like to use my ps3 but I also have a older pc right beside it. Is it possible to buy something to send out HDMI singnal to my tv? Any ideas would be great.

Do you want to watch copies of your own Blu Rays or ones that you have pirated? If it's the latter you are not allowed to talk about it here.

In any case, this topic to do with watching pirated movies so I would imagine it's going to get locked. You're best off asking somewhere else.

We're not going to entertain a discussion about how to get around copy protection.

It's also not all that new - Cinavia's been about since 2009 and the update that contained the compliance for PS3 wasn't exactly secret. It was v3.10 and the information that Cinavia copy protection had been added was on one of the screens you had to scroll past before installing it.

Cinavia is an inaudible audio key (it's within hearing range but comprises a subtle distortion) that survives copying and direct recording. If it's detected but the AACS encyption key associated to it is not, it cuts off the audio. It's designed so that it'll be present in live camera recordings in cinemas and in copied discs, neither of which will carry the AACS encryption key.


Some available software that allows you to make legal backups of media you own are able to remove the Cinavia key. I'm sure a Google search for "backup Cinavia" will help.
