Does anyone know of any software, free or under $50 that I can install on my PC to play Blu-Rays? I'm not to crazy about the one that came with my PC. Thanks!
 
Thanks but I always use vlc but for some reason it won't play blurays.
 
The new version is reported to work better with bluray. Instead of loading the disc, navigate to the data folder and open the file directly.
 
I've tried, so obviously I don't know what im doing, lol. I found a player called DA that actually works, it just won't work with my True Blood Blu-Ray/DVD set, not sure why, but I've tried 2 other Blu-Rays and it plays them. Go figure, lol.
 
I'm surprised VLC doesn't play Blu-ray movies, yeah I've been told never to give your money to some of these program software because they always end up messing up more frequently then before you bought it.
 
Virtually any Blu-Ray software you purchase off the market has the ability to decrypt the Blu-Ray and play the video files. If the Blu-Ray weren't encrypted, it would be very easy to just make a copy of any disc. That said, some Blu-Rays aren't encrypted, or some of them use an encryption standard that VLC may be able to get past, yet some Blu-Rays like the True Blood ones may be encrypted using a different standard which VLC can't get past, but other commercial players have access to the keys in order to decrypt them.

That said, there are solutions out there which allow you to decrypt and make a non-encrypted copy of the disc. This would allow virtually any media player capable of playing m2ts or mp4 (MPEG-4) H.264 video to play the files. You can then easily play or copy the .m2ts files from the STREAM folder of the Blu-Ray disc.

Some companies author their Blu-Ray movies into multiple .m2ts files so that you can't just copy the movie as one file - the disc HAS to be played by a Blu-Ray player capable of reading the disc or the playlist files (.mpls) in order to play the movie correctly. Disney is NOTORIUS for this (don't ask me how I know), so you need special software that can read the playlist file in order to know the correct order of the video files and to patch them all up into one.

The simplest thing is to just buy a Blu-Ray decoder/player. I tried Roxio's and it works pretty well (make sure you get the Blu-Ray capable one), but I know Cyberlink and probably a few other companies make some that should work. You must also have an actual optical drive capable of reading Blu-Ray discs, but I glean from your post that you already have such a drive.

Good luck!
