A lot of people are having an issue with something called “Cinavia” when they play videos on the PS3.

A few months back Sony updated their new Terms of Service to include “automatic updates or upgrades which may change your current operating system, cause a loss of data or content or cause a loss of functionalities or utilities” and with the recent PS3 Firmware 3.41 it appears Sony has added in Cinavia DRM Protection as an automatic PS3download.

What is Cinavia and how does it work?

Have you ever experienced something like this: “I was streaming a movie called the losers from comp to my ps3 after about 25 minutes the audio muted and i got a message cineavia muted ur audio signal due to copyrighted restrictions. I paused the movie for about 30 seconds then audio came back.

Then after 15 seconds audio went off again adn the same messages was displayed has anybody had these problems. . . and is there something to do with the problem” If you have, you’ve experienced the annoyance of having Cinavia featured on your Playstation 3 console. Cinavia is a new protection that help fight piracy. This protection is not any ordinary protection that can be removed by software such as AnyDVD HD or DVDFab HD. They’ve watermarked the audio, so they can tell what movie you are playing – And stop the playback if it’s not officially released yet.

So if you’ve downloaded a movie, a pirated bootleg version – Cinavia might stop you. Even if it’s recorded using a camera or a line-in from a movie theater. But don’t worry there is a solution to this!

Various bypass methods..

Since Cinavia became a problem for people on the PS3 and on Blu-ray players it has been a hot topic on the Internet and people have desperately been trying literarily anything to fix it. Lots of methods are spreading around on the Internet, but none of them work…

• The first method was to disable the WMA playback, some people claimed this would bypass Cinavia on their Playstation 3. – It didn’t.
• Another hack was to play the movies with avisynth/mencoder in the transcode folder. Yet again, some reported this to be working. – It didn’t.
• Then we had the workaround which was about optical audio/multi-out, it was claimed to be a trick to patch out the Cinavia DRM. Yet again, it was proven not to be working.

The simple fact is that Cinavia is quite powerful, and it is not hackable by regular people. However, we are not regular people. We are two software engineers with a mastes degree, and we have kicked Cinavia’s behind.

So WHERE is the working method?

Right now, there are two methods which works. One site has them online, but in order to keep them relatively secret I won’t publish them here. Easy step-by-step guide:

Here is the first WORKING Cinavia remover (as of March 2011) Here is another: Cinavia fix (NEW! as of June 2011)

Good luck! And enjoy those PS3 movies – with audio!
