Clearplay: An Ingenious DVD Player That Filters Movies Without Altering Them
January 28th, 2008 | Posted in Web 2.0 |
Clearplay is a DVD player that filters out profanity, extreme violence, and sexuality from movies, toning them down from R to PG-13, or from PG-13 to PG (if you want).
Whereas other filtering methods involve physically altering the media, Clearplay works differently. You download filter files from Clearplay’s site, load them onto a flash drive, plug the flash drive into the Clearplay DVD player, select to apply the filter to the movie, and voila, your R movie is suddenly much more family friendly.
The filter doesn’t alter the movie’s physical media at all. And you don’t have to buy special pre-edited movies — you can rent them from Blockbuster or wherever.
Clearplay may not appeal to many of my readers, but in the event that you’re interested, you can get special discounts by mentioning that I referred you. E-mail jweed@clearplay.com, include my name (”Tom Johnson”), and you’ll get a discounted price for players and memberships. Actually, if you just email that address expressing interest, I get some kickbacks.
It’s a technically ingenious solution and I’m not sure entirely how it works — it just does.

The program on the USB stick syncs with the DVD player’s machine to coordinate with the DVD. It really works. I’m serious. If you sign up, be sure to follow the instructions in the post to get the discounts.

Wow, nice product for the parents out there. It is always so difficult to manage, what kids want and what is best for them. This sounds like it will help parents quite a bit.

This is a very nice idea! I wonder why this has not been publicized more.
Blockbuster and other rental outlets could even provide the USB sticks along with the movies. They would probably have to charge a fee to avoid theft but these things are dirt cheap now.
