Cinavia

[Rich86]

Rich86,

Best Buy still sells a Dynex Blu-ray player that is free of Cinavia, even with firmware updates!

My god son just got one about a month ago and I backed up some Blu's for him and they play just fine! He has some rough kids!

Yep - players licensed prior to February can remain free of cinavia. My understanding is that the current Oppo models are also cinavia free. I plan to stick with my Sony models all licensed & made prior to February, 2012 and be extra careful what firmware updates are applied, because there is no guarantee that the next firmware update won't include something you do not want, and we know of no way to go back afterwards.

That was the idea getting rid of the disc and saving a whole lot of money they cost way to much compared to hdds. Feeding the media player an ISO is so simple more simple than burning to a disc. They are pretty close to perfect.media player is the answer to all my media needs for you disc may be great but for me taking a pile of disc with me were ever I go is not convenient I prefer having them on usb stick(s) every device has usb plug and I don't loan my media out that's a big nono if I wanted to watch movies wile I was at my mother in laws I would stream my media unpn server and for Sony well lets say the Only Sony product I got left is my bd burner and I think there far from the best just go take a poll of ps3 owners and ask what they think anyways this are my thoughts on that matter

I have a question re: a media player. Can you feed it a blu ray file (full disc mode on dvdfab) from an ntfs formatted hard drive. This is how I watch some of my back up copies via AVCHD Manager (tool used to set default movie). This way I get the whole blu-ray including previews, menus, etc with no compression of video or sound. I do own a Cinavia free player but was curious of another alternative for my bedroom. Thanks 2 anyone who responds.

Hi akadennis
Here is the link to the media player that Jonatan owns http://pivos-aios.wikidot.com/
From what it says Full BR ISO support with MENU I'm guessing it will, but maybe Jonatan will chime in and give you a better answer.

I have an AIOS and you don't have to install an HDD but why wouldn't you? It is a hot swap bay and it takes about 10 seconds. I have an HDD dock so swapping and loading is a snap. If you happen to have an external optical drive just plug it into one of the USB ports and have a Cinavia free disc player as well.

thanks, basically I just want something that I can plug my external HD to and play back all my full disc blu-ray back ups with no compression of video or sound.

Then it's a perfect fit. It will do that for you.

hello again, another question before i purchase. currently i backup my movies using dvdfab full movie mode into an external HD. I then use AVCHD Manager to identify (probably not necessary) and select movie as default. Selecting a default basically renames the movie folder to AVCHD. I then plug my external HD to my Cinavia free blu-ray player and navigate to Video and select my USB HD and play the AVCHD Folder and the movie plays exactly like the original blu-ray. I get one message (Cannot correctly identify disc. Cannot use network function of the disc) which goes away after a quick second and the movie plays fine. With the AIOS do I have to rename movie folder to AVCHD or does it play it fine without renaming and does the movie playback in 1080/24p? I know it supports FULL HD, it just doesnt mention 24p. Thanks again for your help and apologies for the long post :-)

BR ISO, do I get this when I select Blu-Ray copy Full Disc? Sorry for the dumb question it just came to me on the bus :-) I normally see a bunch of files with the mt2s extension.

Re: Original Bluray Menu Support?

First be sure you are using the latest firmware (2.8.3.2). Next is the encryption (and region locks) removed from the copy ? (i.e. which program have you used for ripping). Finally, which version is the bluray menu ? BR 2.0 menus (java based) doesn't work.
If you have any other question i would go over to the aios fourm there is great support of there
Hope it helps
