Cinavia and Netflix Movies

[Vinnster]

HI Folks,

I have been away a while and just coming back. I was planning on buying a burner when I started reading about Cinavia.

I use Netflix and I have a older Sony player yet as of yet all movies have played fine. I suspect I haven't played a new enough movie with Cinavia on it or are Netflix movies discs different from commercial discs so they would be backward compatible with more players.

FYI...what triggered my question is I have until now ordered "DVD" version of movies I wanted a backup of, but as of lately many only come as Blu-ray only. That made me start to investigate buying a Blu-ray burner.

NO

I think you might be getting confused, Cinavia is on Blu-ray disks and Blu-ray hardware players, and NOT in Blu-ray burners.

You can always use a new Blu-ray burner, and I would get the fastest burn rate possible.

Get a older model Blu-ray hardware player, without the Cinavia, and don't update the firmware


In the future, you may have a Blu-ray player/burner in you computer which will have the Cinavia cancer.

Thanks for clearing that up. I think I understand Cinavia in on Blu-ray players and my player is a Sony DBP-S560 which I have not updated the firmware in a long while.

My concern was/is I plan to buy a burner. I want to make sure when I copy the Blu-ray disc, if it has Cinavia on it, it will still play on the player as long as I do not update the firmware.


Sorry if I am being dense here.

Just happen to also have a Sony BDPS560 using firmware version 008.

Firmware versions 008,011,014 are on a CD disk in my stockpile of firmware updates for the Sony BDPS560. Version 008 came out from Sony 09/29/10

Don't plan to ever update unless a new release source BD-ROM does not play.

Don't let this Sony BDPS560 do any automatic updates from the internet.
