Kick ass 2 has cinavia protection

[90312]

Yes it does. Cinavia is on several DVDs.

Why is this thread even in the DVD Copy forum rather than the Blu-Ray Copy forum since Cinavia Protection has nothing to do with DVDs? Does Cinavia come into play when ripping a DVD to DVD and playing it on a Blu-Ray player?

Hi Scoop,Kogan model no is KABRP3DWFIA. http://www.kogan.com/au/.Click on "help" and ask the question if they send to the US.If no make 'em an offer like you will pay all expenses through Pay Pal to them. Give it try This player connects to the net also.It's no different to all the other players around,just better I can assure you. Remember we have 240 volt you have 110 but any simple power converter can fix that.The player also has Pal and your NTSC colour,so no problem there.Good luck my friend Forgot to tell you it's also a 7 channel Blu-ray player...Who needs Sony and all rest of that mob.

It's resolved as far as I'm concerned. I have a media player and Cinavia never crosses my mind!

Good point about the media players. I've read about that here, good info. I'm not presently into the media-playing scene but that may be the way for me to go if the issue isn't resolved by the time I'm ready (if ever ) to enter the BR market.

There is nothing wrong sticking to DVD only unless you want a better picture and watch movies in 3D.Then you will need Blu-Ray.Here in Australia we have an electronic company call KOGAN..I just purchased a brand new Blu-Ray 3D player from them.This company has given SONY the finger and will not have Cinavia protection build in.This player also plays from every region in the world DVD's and also plays every region in Blu-rays.A,B,C. Cost of player was $109.00 AUD.What more could one want. Now I have 2 Sony and one Kogan player all Cinavia free.

I agree, it's just a personal choice with the BR / 3D decisions. I'm satisfied with my upconvert std DVD player on the 1080p Plasma TV but one reason that works for me is the most important consideration for me in this hobby.. "content".

I'm a collector of older TV/DVD shows and as such, many of those won't be re-released in BR format and that removes most incentives for me to enter the BR scene.

Thanks for the info on that Kogan player. Wow That's something I might check into soon. That's about $95 U.S. as of today's exchange rates.

What's the model # of your Kogan player? I tried a simulated purchase in the Kogan site cart but it doesn't appear to allow shipment to the U.S.

Doesn't anyone have regular DVD players anymore? This movie on DVD ripped to DVD and played on a DVD player has no issues. I never made the jump to Blu-ray, I'm still just an old home boy who is still content with DVD. I think there are still quite a few of us left out here in the woods.

I'm the same. I haven't made the jump to BR yet but perhaps for different reasons than most DVD collectors.

The cinavia issue is a smaller reason as I'd like to wait until this issue is resolved as I'm guessing that it will happen eventually.

You won't be able to play on the PS3 period. mp4 or DivX avi Cinavia passes through and will mute the audio.

Cinavia on mobile formats

I was under the impression that if you converted to a mobile format like .m4v, changing the audio track from DTS to AAC you would be able to play the file on any capable player, like PS3, without the cinavia restrictions. Is this not the case?

october 262 .... updating your player will always get the latest firmware update.........Well what'd you know.Yes.But do you know what they actually are? Of course not.So lets just upgrade for the sake of upgrade.Don't upgrade unless there is a real need for that.Leave it alone if everything works just fine.Commonsense. The only real problem for a lot of you guys out there is CINAVIA and that's the real problem.No firmware can fix that though.

updating your player will always get the latest firmware update. BUT, i
wonder if an newer bluray discs would have the update on the disc forcing
you to update the player just to watch your movie??

You are probably correct. They is why I have several blueray dvd players. I found a blueray disc (sorry I don't remember which one) that wouldn't play on my oldest blueray player because of what I believe was out dated Java.

If you update the firmware of an older dvd player or have it connected to the internet through a router will this firmware or dvd player update add the Cinavia protection to the older dvd player? One of my Sony dvd player is a couple of years old and when I tried to play my backup disk the sound muted after about 5 to 10 minutes into the playback. Another older Sony dvd player not connected to the internet played the backup just fine in which case it would be best not to update the firmware. Just my guess, any thoughts.

DO NOT upgrade the player.You can keep it however connected to the net if you wish.Firmware does not renew itself by itself !!!! If it happens to pop up and says....your firmware is out to date would you like to upgrade.......Please don't do it. However if you feel unsave disconnect the player from the net.Some people believe they have to upgrade all the time so the player always works fine.From my experience having 2 Sony 3D players since Feb.2012 there is no need for it.They work perfect without new firmware.Or let me put this another way, and that works for everything....Why fix it when it ain't broken....
