Cinavia gets addressed in 2 ways through settings in AnyDVD (and CloneBD for blu-rays). In anydvd's program settings there are the bottom 2 checkboxes.
1) "Prevent cinavia detection by software player": this setting in anydvd prevents software players such as PowerDVD from detecting the signal. This setting does NOT remove the signal itself, and is enabled by default.
2) "Remove cinavia during CloneBD audio stream copy": this setting only works in combination with CloneBD and actively removes it, but with an audio quality loss, and requires cloneBD as well and downconverting of the audio to AC3
The cinavia REMOVAL fix does NOT work (yet) on DVD's.
I don't know tech details, but I know:
1). Cinavia exist in most of Blu-Ray and 4K UHD Blu-Ray sound tracks.
2). But only "Sony" issues copy can't play normally at most players (hard and soft). Test Sony for new patch ANY DVD HD for avoid Cinavia catch by players.
3). For play by soft, old BD and 3D, I can easy use ATMT 5 with 3D plag-in. It don't have cinavia check. (After ArcSoft issue ATMT 6, with Cinavia check - ArcSoft go bust...
4). Main problem for me - it's 3D Sony hard disc copy play, and HD sound thacks with UHD movie. And I can, but don't want. rip HD movie sound tracks, to ac3, for ignore Cinavia.
Best way you must to do somthing with this Sony Tracks. I tried to use DVD Ranger for delete Cinavia, but they cheaters. I don't know any, who deleted Cinavia from HD sound tracks clear without crack to ac3. No ONE.
Only bla-bla from there support...
Yes, thay can reform normal HD sounds to ac3, but this sound as crap.
Better to buy disc in shop, that hearing this "non-cinavia" sound.
Try to do some one for this one.
I understand, you can't do anythinkg with ACSS 2.0 yet, but to do somthing with Cinavia from Sony discs.
In other case - no reasons to by new Any DVD HD. What for?
Try to do somthing...
Best regard.
