Cinavia
« on: January 13, 2014, 07:48:30 am »
For those who don't know, Cinavia is a service from a company known as Verance, that makes a profit by infecting Blu-ray discs with steganography, in order to stop "unauthorized" videos from playing on particular systems where Cinavia is installed. For example, I can play videos infected with Cinavia through VLC on PC, but it wouldn't play on a PS3, where Sony has installed the Cinavia crap. Apparently, all Blu-ray disc players from 2012 on now have this crap installed.

- Is there any software or tricks out there that will strip the steganography, or "watermarking"?

*I thought it would be worthwhile to have this discussion, since I haven't seen it elsewhere on the forum.
