FileShareFreak has a very interesting report out today about Cinavia DRM, which is a new audio watermarking technology that takes aim at pirates, and those trying to playback movie downloads via their PlayStation 3s. The site says the watermarking works by "comparing the source of the audio to the format in which a movie was released (ie theatrical or commercial disc), and if the watermarked ...

i figured a way around the little cinavia problem and have a file protected by cinavia now playing perfectly on my ps3.

Select 'Sound Settings' under the 'Settings' section, select 'Optical' and place a tick against all output options. You will get a warning that this could damage speakers so proceed with caution. There is another setting under the 'Sound Settings' which relates to enabling multiple outputs, set this to 'On'. I have tried this and it works, movie plays without any banner popping up.
i hope that idea works.

it works for resident evil afterlife and salt...but doesn't work for The Social Network, maybe because it's new movie with new update protecion cinavia.
Originally posted by eza17:The 'audio settings' workaround can be a bit hit and miss and it seems to depend on what the ps3 decides to do with the audio. If you do still have a problem then the above method will work, it's better than nothing and only interrupts the movie for 20 seconds.
2. If the above doesn't work then this one will (similar to ljbanner's method). When the cinavia message pops up, go to the date/time settings and set the hour back 1. Try playing the movie again and the banner should come straight up. Go back to date/time settings and move the hour forward again. You should now get another 20 mins.

If you take just a quick look at the patents logged for this watermarking technology, you'll know there wont be a solution any time soon. The patents mention any attacks you might readily think of such as analysing/editing in audio software. I've done several experiments and know these facts:
It isn't affected by small time increases/decreases.
It is reliably detected within 4 seconds of audio.
It is not affected by direction i.e. it is still detected when playing audio backwards.
There are currently 2 workarounds for a PS3 on firmware 3.55:
1. Select 'Sound Settings' under the 'Settings' section, select 'Optical' and place a tick against all output options. You will get a warning that this could damage speakers so proceed with caution. There is another setting under the 'Sound Settings' which relates to enabling multiple outputs, set this to 'On'. I have tried this and it works, movie plays without any banner popping up.
