My guess is that the Mfr.s learned from their earlier "mistakes", and when they developed and signed on to the BR spec, they greatly tightened the screws on what would be allowed, also limiting what companies would be allowed to join the club. If there are any equivalent off-brand BR players along these lines out there, they have completely escaped my notice. It was quite a good player, that could also internally convert PAL discs to NTSC format, with no special multi-format TV or other equipment required. My first DVD player was a Malata 700 that had been "chipped" to ignore regions and Macrovision. SOME DVD players do recognize Cinavia, so your conversion attempts could in theory be a waste of time.Īny BD players manufactured after some date last year are required to support Cinavia, so inevitably even Panasonic will make a player that supports it. No Cinavia that way as the WD players don't recognize it. You'd be better off to just rip the BluRay movies to MKV files and play them on a Western Digital or similar streaming media player. My son too updated my PS3 by mistake he says, So now that won't play backed up cinavia protected disks, So I use BDRebuilder to shrink down to a standard DVD 5 or 9 an play that on a standard dvd player, I have been looking at the Panasonic 210 or 215 which aren't cinavia protected they seem to have good reviews.
