Cinavia is a new DRM technology that uses "audio watermarking" embedded into the audio stream portion of a movie. What it does is compare the source of the audio to the format in which a movie was released (ie theatrical or commercial disc), and if the watermarked audio source detects a difference, the movie will either be mute (but most likely not play at all).

How Cinavia is applied - an example: If someone were to "CAM" a movie and use a ‘line’ audio source (from a headphone jack, as opposed to recording the ‘crowd’), the watermark in the ‘line’ audio will search for its match - in this case, being a theatrical source. Since a TS or CAM’s ‘line’ audio doesn’t match the original release format, Cinavia will block or restrict playback of the file.

For example, movies that are being released to theaters can carry a Cinavia code that indicates that they are supposed to be duplicated by professional replicators and played back on professional projection equipment only."

Captain Morgan was a pirate................and they made him governor of Jamaica,.........so there is hope for us yet! pmsl

Just bought a new Blu-Ray player with Cinavia in it.Done some research on net and various people claim to have a solution.The one that caught my eye was to disable hdmi playback for sound and use an optical cable.Now I don't know if this works but I'm certainly going to give it a go

Wired up my new blu-ray player but to my dismay there is no optical connection on the back of player,so I can prove or disprove the optical claim
