Cinavia Protection Issue During Playback on PS3
January 29th, 2020
I sometimes but not very often will download a movie and then burn it to a DVD-DL disc to play on my PS3 to watch on my big screen TV. This is the first time I’ve seen this and I’m frustrated about it. I found this site but it just seems to be some sort of set up to get people to download their software to burn video’s and such, it’s freeware and looks crappy.
I am currently using ConvertXtoDVD ver 5.2.0.39 I have it blocked for incoming and outgoing in windows Firewall, I also have disconnect the internet while burning the disc.(my Internet is hard wired using the old RJ45 cable to my router)
Has anyone dealt with this issue and found a way around it?
Cinavia is a digital watermark encoded in the audio/video and cannot be removed.
You have two known working options:
1) Find a pre 2011 blu-ray/dvd player (these do not have cinavia protection detection)
2) Stream the video to your TV DVD-Ranger now claims to be able to remove the protection. You can give it a try:

Thanks I will check it out.
Well I tried streaming it to my PS3 using a program called Universal Media Server, which basically sets up a media server that the PS3 can see and use from my PC. I played the same movie but yet again that damn “Cinavia” thing showed up again and muted my sound and it seemed to stick there not allowing any sound at all from the speakers connected to my TV. I tried DVD- Ranger and it seems to process it but I can’t figure out how to burn it to the DVD.
Assuming you selected PS3/4, after it has converted you have an mp4 file that can play on the device directly (or should if ranger does what it says).
Never run into this problem personally, but I do recall reading the Cinavia only kicks in after around 15 minutes (something to do with the type of watermark it uses). If this is the case, wouldn’t the problem be solved by just splitting your video file into 15 minute segments?
Had similar problems in the past and found a better solution….
Though this may not be of much help to you if you don`t have the hardware, but I use a WD TV Live Media network player and everything I throw at it, it plays on big screen and (PC using Cyberlink Power DVD 14.)
As I say, not much use if you don`t have one of these.

1) Find a pre 2011 blu-ray/dvd player (these do not have cinavia protection detection)
Wrong, its a pre- feb 1st 2012 player. Any LICENSED commercial player upto jan 31st, 2012 does NOT fall under the mandatory cinavia detection rule. And even to date there are very little commercial dvd players that implement cinavia detection. That’s pretty much confined to blu-ray players (which ofcourse can also play dvd’s)

Wrong, the “15min” is a user estimate. cinavia detection has no fixed window in which it gets detected. On one device it can be 15 minutes, on another it can be 5 minutes and on another one it can be 20min or more.
About the DVDranger thing, the user community at myce seems to be pretty sure that all they do is replace the audio with a compressed version of a cinavia free source.

Yes, but devices could have the detection before that date! That is why it is recommended to find an older one … to avoid those units.
I don’t have cinavia hardware so I can’t tell, but I can say that the video and audio sources are change after using Ranger: I don’t know if the video is just recompressed or whether something is done to it; even if it doesn’t, so long as it works …(and as I said, I can’t say either way).

Wrong again. They can’t. For the simple reason that the BDA (bluray disc alliance) didn’t adopt cinavia technology into the official bluray standard until Feb 1st, 2012. Licensed players have to comply with the standard or they dont get licensed. They can’t just add stuff and get away with it, it could cost the manufacturers their license.
It’s also not just firmware based, they simply didn’t have the internal hardware either. My Panasonic DMP bdt-100 is from mid 2011 and does not have cinavia? Why? Simple, they player was licensed before Feb 1st, 2012 and as such does not fall under the mandatory cinavia detection rule.
Maybe you should do some more research.
Just because it wasn’t officially confirmed – there were players that came out based on the review standard!
Anyhow…this doesn’t do anything to solve the OP’s question.
I dare you to name and link 1 with proof that it contains cinavia.
