Slysoft today released version 7.4.6.0 of AnyDVD HD that disables detection of the Cinavia copy protection on PowerDVD 14. Previously also detection of Cinavia on other Blu-ray players like Arcsoft TotalMedia Theatre, WinDVD and Nero Blu-ray players was disabled.
The Cinavia Blu-ray copy protection has become mandatory on Blu-ray players since 2012 and prevents playback of taped and copied movies by embedding an audio watermark in the audio track of movies.
A Cinavia detector in both Blu-ray hardware and software players detects whether the movie you're playing back is legitimate. If not, the audio will usually mute after 20 minutes and the players will show a Cinavia message prompting you to purchase a legitimate copy.
Currently only DVD-Ranger with CinEx HD has been able to actually remove the audio watermark from the movie soundtrack. The benefit is that a backup works on all players and devices. But to achieve this, DVD-Ranger modifies the audio signal.
Slysoft AnyDVD HD has a different approach and hides the Cinavia signal from the detector. The benefit is that you'll get the original audio. The disadvantage is that it currently only works on supported Blu-ray playback software.
