Can any of the Slysoft AnyDVD HD owners advise on the pros and cons of the following product: Movie Fix2 url is http://noerrors.info/#contact .
It is advertised as a cinavia solution but it seems too good to be true. I am keen to hear your views.
I just bought and got in the Sony DBP-S590. I bought it from Zon for $99 since I wanted to be sure I had another player should my current Panny 'break'. The S590 is one of the few 3D BD players still available that doesn't have Cinavia since this model came out prior to the deadline. IF you've upgraded the firmware then you now have Cinavia - thus I'm not updating the firmware on this one. I'm testing it out as I post this with Paranorman 3D since that movie 'muted' on my PS3 so I know it has Cinavia. So far I'm over 20 minutes in and playing fine. I'm going to box it up and store it as a back-up.
What you are not getting is that there's no need to reencode anything. Or even rip. You can play directly from a backed up disc (a blu-ray spec disc even) with players like MPC-HC. You don't seem to have realized that yet. It's been true for years. Other things you can do is remux (not reencode) to mkv like SamuriHL said, and I and many others prefer to do cause it can save a couple of GB over the m2ts container per movie.I think you missed the point of my post if it's a "Blu-Ray Player" the new requirements call for the function of the Cinavia embedded audiostream to trigger a mute and error message. In using a non disc specific media player and an encoding that is non standard to stand alone disc players seems to be the loophole to the system.
This is another matter altogether. IF you feel you need to reencode for any reason (which merely avoiding Cinavia is not), THEN you ask yourself these questions.As for why re-encode that is a matter of what we as individuals feel we want to invest in storage space vs the loss of quality we find acceptable. With the cost of harddrives continuing to fall as capacities increase many may consider using them for storage. I may soon consider setting up a large array of drives to keep my collection available to me online. This however is still a second best to a offline collection and this is where I consider how much compression I'm willing to live with and whether to backup to DVD, DL DVD or Blu-Ray.
This doesn't actually prove anything as I'm pretty sure the DVD version of the film didn't contain Cinavia in all regions so all they had to do was take the audio from that and mux it in
Well, Cinavia detection is disabled now for the main software players at least. Kudos to Slysoft.Bdrips? Brrips? As in .avi or .mkv's? And no they are not planning on ever releasing an update for anydvd to remove cinavia. It has already been said that in order to remove cinavia the audio needs no be decoded in one way or another. That is beyond the scope of anydvd. That's not what it is designed to do

+1 on both. The current version of AnyDVD HD disables Cinavia detection for the major software players; that's a nice surprise, but not the final defeat of Cinavia. Only Slyce will eventually remove the Cinavia signal altogether (but not on initial release).What i said is still valid. I said they are not planning on REMOVING it with anydvd. What is currently possible is anydvd prevents detection of the signal. Its still there, it just doesn't get picked up. As such its not a s.complete fix and only works for htpc. Not standalone
