BD RB Beta released! - now at version 0.37.08 (April 23rd, 2011)

Interesting however I won't be able to test it since I use ArcSofts TMT 5, however back when I used PowerDVD 8 I used to play any iso by just mounting it suing Daemon tools.

 

Just ran across this on a Google blog:

Hello !

Most of you folks have allready hit the cinavia problem while streaming your files to PS3. I've also been a victim to $ONY$ DRM.
Just as usual ,a problem comes up , a solution must be advised.

I've tried to remux the files (didn't work)
I've tried to change the output settings (didn't work)

But luckily i've found a solution that works, it's not the most elegant one, since it requires a small pause in viewing , but it's 100% working :>

@ the beginning a bit of information how cinnavia works:
- company releasing the movie(publisher) embeds a watermark into the audio stream (btw. your mp3 purchases are also stamped using similiar technology so b careful with mp3 sharing)
- during the playback console audio decoder finds embedded data in the stream and if it's not matching some conditions it shutdowns the audio and shows the widely known and loved pimped out box
- watermark data embedded into the stream is inaudible and impossible to scramble / remove , eventually you would lower the audio quality A LOT while trying to do that (not fine)

MAGIC TRICK EXPLANATION:
Basically when cinnavia protection kicks in it blocks the playback of audio at a certain time point (timestamp). Let's call that point "A"

Now for the usual part: The progLAMERS @ $ONY LAB$ store that timestamp value(A) at a location on consoles HDD or EPROM (that's why power off / on did not do the trick). So we're grounded for 20 minutes (that's the penalty time)... I would also store that, good work yoshis !!
What those lames didn't check is the time alteration while the penalty is in force Basically, has the clock data changed.

SO WHAT I DID AFTER AUDIO LOCKOUT WAS SETTING THE CONSOLE'S CLOCK +1 Hour.
It took me about 20 seconds

After clock setting operation i start the playback from where it was finished, protection engine checks for "A" timestamp value, it states 1 hour in the past(20 min penalty is over) so it allows us to playback the content for another 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes audio is being cut off again @timestamp "B", so we repeat the time trick and we're at B+1 Hour and so on , and so on.
It's not too elegant but it works, PERFECTLY. You can continue viewing in full DTS quality without a problem.

My firmware version is: 3.15. I don't think that has been fixed.

I've heard of something similar but it didn't seem that attractive of a choice to me. To have to go through that every time I encountered cinavia would ruin the movie to the point where I would no longer be interested in watching it. Fortunately Cinavia has no effect whatsoever on a home-built HTPC. I can still stream it and watch it on any TV in my house.

If someone doesn't come up with a more elegant solution I think that PS3 business will suffer as a result until they do.

 

So for now there is no fix for cineavia....lame I wasted 2 BD discs lol. I still remmeber getting Repo Men to work somehow after having the first try with cineavia, the second didnt

 

I wouldn't say wasted. Try to get your hands on an older BD player. The player has to be compatible with cinavia in order for it to work and most of the slightly older ones are still usable. Or you could play them back on your computer as I do. In a matter of weeks or a few months someone will crack it.

 

Cool I will save it then. So is it something AnyDVD has to crack or BD-RB?

 

I can't say who or what group will crack it but AnyDVD is very high on my list of probables.

 

O.K.I used the guide I referenced in my last post and now my .iso plays fine when mounted in powerdvd. I now would like to make a dvd 9 bakup of the same movie. Can someone explain steps once I reach the point where bd rebuilder creates .iso. I know it will prompt for layer break do I just choose the best position and o.k. Is there a way to keep bd rebuilder from creating .iso only leaving the folder.

Just wondering but will the screens be very similar to this:

http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=86742

 

I just got through watching bd 5 backup and it looks good. I will now do a bd 9 backup of salt...

 

O.K. I ripped Salt to hard drive opened up in bd rebuilder and now I don't know which english audio to select.

 

Why dont you just select Auto Burn in BD-RB options? Or did I miss something?

 

I got it all figured out only problem was bd rebuilder automatic settings selected better instead of high. I hope it doesn't make too much of a difference.

 

O.K. I think I'm going to stick with DVD 9 backups. My salt dvd 9 backup looks great. I'm now working on Resident Evil today's release.

I don't mean to throw a wrench into your DVD9 backups scheme since I did many of my earlier backups to DVD9 but if you have a blu-ray burner then it will probably cost you less to go with BD25, keep HD audio, and speed reencoding since there is less compression.

 

Ya BD 25 looks SOOOOOO much better then dvd9. If you have a Blu ray burner you should stick to Blu Rays for back ups. Unless its on a movie like Salt where it has cineavia...

 

Well just purchased spindle of 25 DVD DL so I will need to finish that before I can purchase some BD 25's.
Im pretty satisfied with quality of DVD 9 backup so far..

 

Well, I am leaving anyDVD and clone DVD and bought a new LG burner. I purchased anyDVD HD and downloaded Imgburn. My woman wants me to burn Eat Pray Love bluray and imgburn creates a 49 gb file. So I can't burn it to the 25 gb blank disc I have. I have been searching for hours and read how people shrink it with this BD Rebuiler. I installed it and the proper versions of the other software. When I hit backup, I get the message "failed to encode, aborted" (see below for the log). I have windows xp. I don't understand why copying DVDs is so easy but this bluray is impossible. Am I wrong in assuming that all the boxes in BD Rebuilder would be appropriately checked, since there are tons of boxes, I just left it at the default. there are no guides that I can find telling you what to check. I can't get this to work, have been reading these forums for hours, need a little help

I can't get BD Rebuilder to work for me. I posted the log below. I just got an LG BluRay burner, have Verbatim 25gb discs. My woman wants me to create an iso file of the bluray Eat Pray Love. When I use Imgburn it is a 49gb file. My discs are 25gb. So I researched shrinking it and found BD Rebuilder. I followed the install guide and this is the error message and log below. I have no idea why. I am assuming to leave all the boxes checked in the programs the way they are because there are no guides telling me what anything means or what to check that I can find. I am running windows xp. Any help would be appreciated. Hope I am posting this in the right spot. Is there any program to make this easier? DVD shrink, decrypter, cloneDVD all so easy.
