Hi bro which shop is selling popcorn hour?

hi all,
anyone knows how this LG BP-120 Blu-ray player performs? Is it cinavia infected? Any others option recommend?

Thanks.

When it comes to BD-R and LTH , i wouldn't consider LG, unless im only going to use BD-ROM.

you'll may get issues disc kept ejecting for no reason, until u cycled a few times, servo issues? not sure.

So, what is your recommendation? Sony having protection issue and mkv playback issue as well zzz

please clarify

Sony will not play if the mkv files is compressed and CINAVIA protection issue.

ok..i thought it has problem playing with any mkv files. just the cinavia afterall.

if all movies are cinavia protected...and all current and future media players have cinavia, will this be the end of internet downloaded, bd ripped movies?

I think they (sony) implemented cinavia protection mostly for Sony Pictures movie for copyrights. But, the protection is not unbreakable just that who are willing to take the risk beside no one is gonna pay them for it right? If the situation is like what you said "the end of internet downloaded" , then those pro will come out and break it for sure

The problem is that most if not all blu-ray player produced after Feb this year will be cinavia compliant. Even old player with firmware update will be cinavia compliant also. So, as long as you're playing cinavia 'infected' content with cinavia compliant blu-ray player, then you will face the same issue with Sony player.

those "pro" will need some EXPENSIVE measure perhaps a "mod chip" , that requires reverse engineering of the players firmware, but i believe that is NOT going to happen, why you said? if you have 1000 firmwares you'll need 1000 kind of mod chips, not feasible, its over 5 years cinavia is still kicking butts.

Playstation is different, they have limited versions.

Even if you can bypass cinavia detection, you'll still cant removed it, without distorting the audio track.

It has low entrophy yet extreme error correction rate, let say you manage to filtered 9,999 out of 10,000 of the encoded bytes, 1 is enough to trigger the protection. Its futile to resist... get originals

Nowadays a new non-cinavia 3d players is collecting RM600-700 ..

Why does many think Cinavia only affected Sony bd player ? Again I repeat what other says...all latest player mfg after Feb2012 is to comply to Cinavia or else u can't play original bluray.

my father just buy a pirated bluray n when he plays it,,,the sound will b suddenly muted after a while with appearance of the COPYRIGHT warning...is this the sign of CINAVIA protection???using samsung bluray player here

Any error of it just wont play ? If no error, there are possibilities of the BD is not good

If is the same ahem discs that refuse to play and there are no particular error then definatly is the disc itself, ahem discs tend to have playback issue when it is either played few times or the disc may be dirty at some part.
