Cinavia protection is a steganography system and analog watermarking technology developed by Verance. The Disc implementation of Cinavia is a playback/copy prevention of unauthorized copies of professionally produced content.
If your DVDs or Blu-ray discs are protected by Cinavia, then you may see an error message saying "Audio outputs temporarily muted. Do not adjust the playback volume. The content being played is protected by Cinavia™ and is not authorized for playback on this device. For more information, see http://www.cinavia.com. Message Code 3" when playing. It indicates that the audio track of the video you're playing contains Cinavia code. You can't play that kind of video file properly without bypassing/removing Cinavia code.
