Cinavia Fix?

[glenns]

I don't think they want us in the talk about anything topics here's what i got when i tried to read a post their.(glenns, you do not have permission to access this page).

This is weird cause i go downstairs to the international forums and they don't ask me for any permission to talk or read their posts.The post I clicked on was cinava broken by me.

Can I conclude my report on 3d media players and optical drives here? or do I have to wave a white flag to get in on the talk about anything part of the forum.

guys
This thread has veered off topic, please confine future posts here to Cinavia. If you want to discuss players and such, you can use the General Chat forum for anything.

You do that with the media players remote control.

[roadtrip]

super fist I was wondering you said you use the remote to open & close it but can you pause it or fast forward or reverse it.

If it works this way then when plugged into the media drive we won't get the improvements as we don't have windows drivers on the media players.

You really need to see 3d to get a feel for it as it improves watching the picture greatly.Now if you think your tv looks good now put a Darbee in between your hdmi output of your receiver and the input of your hdmi tv and your going to blow out of your socks as the detail increases as if you were watching a 4k native picture it's that good and can improve any tv with hdmi inputs 10 fold.This will make even a crappy hdtv look great.

You won't believe how mush detail this tiny box brings out in a hd picture every strand of hair is so much clearer and my 60 inch plasma is professional adjusted gray scale to 65K and picture fine tuned colors to hdtv standard and I thought the world of this picture before adding the Darbee.

Now it's just like watching native 4k at much cheaper price check this out when they demo it in a store near you looks like your looking out your window

If the tv had no edges and you put it where the window should be you will walk right through the tv 4k native rocks and it's coming to a store near you so check it out when you do so you will know what a $300 Darbee box can do for your already 3d like picture and this box works with real 3d also.Ok a little off track lets get back to the subject at hand.

Just went to the Darbee website... that reminds me of like a Photoshop sharpening filter. Interesting but I think I'm good (I have a Pioneer Elite Kuro that does fantastic post processing). I appreciate it, though.

Here's a update on my 3d report using a optical drive with my Micca 3d media player after taken a update for the drives firmware:

Although I have a few more days to update the 3d part of this review as I am waiting for a sata to ubs 3.0 converter and power supply I can report on taking a update to the drives firmware with LG saying the update improves blu ray playback on this optical drive.

It does more than that as I couldn't play back most of my side by side db9 and db5 data 3d disks but am happy to report that now they work on this optical drive just shows how important the firmware updates are.

I also noticed during testing many disks now and then you get one that will eject and on screen it will say bad disk unplugging the ubs cable from the drive then plugging it back in will allow the disk to be played i don't know why this happens at this point but the cure is easy however it shouldn't happen at all in my humble option.

Even though they claimed the update was for upgraded blu ray playback most of my 3d side by sides are not on blu ray disks but normal disks.

This drive was made in March 2013 a month later 4-23-13 theirs a firmware update for it. I think they rushed this drive out the door before they could get the firmware to work correct on disks in General.I will give a update on playing 3d disks soon as I get the higher speed 3.0 sata to ubs cabel and power supply.

I want to know if we will get the improvements using the media player with the drive as after flashing the drive windows went and downloaded new drivers so the real question is does the flash memory on the drive need to use new windows drivers to get the improvement from the updated firmware in this case better blu ray playback?

If it works this way then when plugged into the media drive we won't get the improvements as we don't have windows drivers on the media players.

Thanks for the info, glenns.

You and others with 3D issues make me glad I never cared for watching 3D movies. My screen is so clear it gives most movies a 3 dimensional look anyway, and that's more than enough for me.

I am not sure if the update to blu ray burner is stored on the drives flash memory or on the computers hard drive any one know?

Yes, the firmware updates are stored in the drive's flash memory.

After playing many of my older 3d side by sides on regular dvd disks db9 and db5s they don't play for some reason and they should because they are 3d data files.A few did play but most won't however.

When i plugged this blu ray drive into the computer they played just fine using power dvd 11 and also play fine on my other Pioneer computer disk drive as well also a outboard Panasonic 2d regular blu ray player played them fine so I really don't know whats going on here.In this case I really don't think its the 2.0 slower data rate but we will see when i get the 3.0 cable.

Their is also a update to firmware for this drive that I took.The upgrade went from version 1.00 software to 101a1 (4-23-13) it claims to improve blu ray playback.I am not sure if the update to blu ray burner is stored on the drives flash memory or on the computers hard drive any one know?

I also noticed the power supply gets very hot during use so make sure it's not under something that can melt or catch fire.

Ok I got the same optical drive and 2.0 sata to ubs adapter as superfist so I can play blu rays from a optical blu ray player that also plays 3d blu rays from disks through my Mecca 3d media player.

The optical disk player show up as a dvd drive in the media players menu (see photo)The main reason for doing so is to be able to play Cinavia effected disks through our media player.
In my case also to play 3d disks through my media player for testing and to replace a original PlayStation I use to use as a 3d disk player.

I tested 2d disks and they played without problems the disks can be ejected with the media players remote control theirs also a eject button on the drive also.

Then I tested with different 3d disks some play fine others have audio dropouts or freeze frames.My thinking here is I need a different sara to ubs cable as 2.0 may not be fast enough data rate for 3d due to so much more info going through the cable than 2d.

I ordered today a 3.0 sara to ubs cable ($30) and power supply to replace the ($12.95) 2.0 sara to ubs cable I am using for this test.
A 3.0 connection is 10x faster(5GPS) than 2.0 so more data should be able to flow much faster then 2.0 data rate and I am hoping this will take care of the problems with 3d movies.I will put up a update to this report when i get the new 3.0 connector.My media player is using a 3t hard drive with 3.0 outputs and hi speed ubs cable that works fine with the media player with 3d movies.

All 3d movies tested were from 50 gig Fab made iso's disks.
3d side by side disks played fine with the 2.0 connector as these disks are really not full 3d or blu rays but data files.

Awesome! Glad it worked out for you! Now for glenns and 3D playback?

For the benefit of those in the future who stumble upon this thread and would like to see a Cinavia Fix with a blu-ray player that is unaffected by Cinavia and always will be, here it is. The drive I used is an internal LG W10LS30 Blu-ray Rewriter (OEM) with rubber feet affixed to the bottom of it so it stays stable and stationary atop of my AIOS HD Media Center. I use the Eject button on the remote to open and close the drive.

Both items shipped today from different places the hard drive from Newegg head and the wire and power supply from Patazon.Optical drive is shipped fedex in the next state from me so i should get it tomorrow but the power supply was mailed usps so that can come fast or slow depends where Patazon ships from.I wished newegghead didn't do outsourcing with Patazon as they have many bad customer complaints only 70 percent good comments.I remember when Newegghead was just Egghead.

Mine came from Patazon, too. It just takes a little longer, that's all. It'll be fine!

I'm guessing the phone number change raised a red flag and may have delayed things a bit.

Yep... I remember I did that awhile back when I got a new cellphone and it will cause a delay on certain sites. Now all I use is my Google Number for merchant transactions so I never have to worry about changing it.
