I'm new to 3D and I'm wondering if Cinavia is used in 3D Blu-ray discs? I haven't seen any discussion about it and I don't see any reference to it in Fab 3D Ripper. I know it's in regular Blu-ray. I have a new Oppo BDP-103 and the manual says it has Cinavia detection.

Yes fox titles have it Pirates band of misfit's,Promethues,Priest are a few i remember so if you backup these your player will mute the sound after playing 20 mins.Their are players that don't have this look for the discusion on them or buy a 3d media player and don't worry about cinavia.Last edited by glenns; 01-11-2013, 05:38 PM.

I have only purchased two 3D discs so far, but because they are so expensive I want to make a backup to a USB hard drive. One of them is Prometheus which you list as having Cinavia. I used 3D Ripper to make both MKV and M2ts files of the main movie. When playing the file through the Oppo BDP-103 USB and Movie Player, it stopped at 22 minutes in both files. I restarted the move, fast forwarded to the 20 min. mark and it played for another 10 min. and stopped again. I am assuming this is because of Cinavia(?). I installed xbmc on my HTPC and it played the complete movie from M2ts with no problem. The other 3D movie I have is Avatar, which I have not tried to back up yet, which is 20th Cent. Fox. I haven't seen it on the Cinavia list, so I think it must be Cinavia free.

Unfortunatley, if you want to playback 3D blu-rays in an ISO/BDMV structure flawlessly your kind of stuck with an HTPC. Otherwise, for 2D blu-ray streaming from a network or attached drive the PCH-200/300 players or any previous generation Dune player (e.g. Smart D1) will do the trick. For 3D at this point there is no real media player solution I know of as all of them only support bd-lite (including the new 3D Dunes and PCH players). The answer will be when they start to support MVC in an MKV so you can just drop the blu-ray MVC file into an MKV container (there may be one player capable of this right now but I recall it didn't support forced subtitles).
To sum it up, for the time-being enjoy your HTPC for streaming and use your Oppo for original discs (a task it does better than virtually any player at any price).
For me it seems only a couple of my 3D discs have cinavia so I've ripped them to 3D SBS MKVs and play them back on my Dune HD Max along with all my 2D blu-ray BDMV's and ISOs from my server over SMB protocol. I then use my Oppo to playback full disc BDMV folders from my server over SMB protocol (to date I've been unable to creat a movie-only BDMV folder that will play in 3D on the Oppo). Although with the Oppo I miss the movie jukebox I have on my Dune I don't have enough 3D titles to care at this point.
