Many Blu-ray disc enthusiasts reported on the web that when their Blu-ray player was playing, the movie was suddenly muted in about 20 minutes, and a prompt box appeared showing unauthorized subtitles. In fact, this is an anti-piracy technology of the new Blu-ray Disc, which is gradually applied to the newly released disc.

More and more Blu-ray discs have added Cinavia protection. Imagine that you are watching a Blu-ray movie with your family. Suddenly the movie has no sound. That is really annoying.
Cinavia is an advanced anti-piracy technology that embeds anti-piracy information (ie, audio watermarks) into sound files to generate inaudible sound information. Even after re-encoding or external recording, Cinavia-generated anti-piracy cannot be eliminated. Information can still be identified by dedicated devices.
Cinavia will embed information in the sound of the film, such as embedding specific cinema-only information in the theater, embedding information that is only available for Blu-ray discs in Blu-ray discs, thereby preventing cinema piracy and Blu-ray Disc piracy. At present, Cinavia has been widely used in new films and Blu-ray players. More and more film manufacturers use this technology, and Cinavia is also suitable for DVD, BD, and other imaging products.
So if the Blu-ray player does not support Cinavia technology, can it avoid the problem of mute and unplayable?
Let’s see How Cinavia works
Civania requires two conditions: a proprietary hidden audio watermark and a piece of hardware capable of detecting audio watermarks. When a Cinavia player is supported and a video embedded with Cinavia protected audio watermark is played, the player’s system compares the detected watermark with the device watermark authorization being played. If the device is not authorized, a message is displayed stating that the media is not playing on the authorized device. Once the message is triggered, the sound will disappear and playback will stop. That is to say, Cinavia protection will be activated only if both of the above conditions are met.
Congratulations, according to the above description, buying a Blu-ray player that does not support Cinavia can solve this problem. So which Blu-ray players do not support Cinavia? After all, since Feb 2012, all Blu-ray Disc players have been forced to use Cinavia technology by the Blu-ray Disc Association. No worries, we have compiled a list of Blu-ray disc players that do not support Cinavia protection. You can compare them and pick the right one for your purchase.
