Blu Ray software

[Champ]

Hey guys. I'm looking for blu ray player software for my PC. Any recommendations? I'll even look at those that cost

Well...everyone will have a differing opinion, so be prepared to do alot of comparisons. I think there are not any free ones, either.

Personally, I like PowerDVD. I have it installed in my HTPC and works beautifully, updates painlessly, and has an overabundance of info about the movie playing as well as more settings than you can imagine. On that: I won't lie to you, the controlpanel UI is ugly and not laid out very intuitively. But I like how it just "works."

One free one. Potentially anyway.

First you should try VLC as there is "experimental" support for playing Blu Rays but it won't work on all especially newer ones as they constantly update the AACS keys (PowerDVD must provide "updates" to address this same as the standard Blu Ray player manufacturers do for their products).

Just Google "VLC blu ray" and there are a couple things to download and add to your VLC install. I also tend to have better luck with the 64-bit version (also "experimental" but available if you search).

It won't be as feature rich as the paid solutions but hey it's free (and a whole let less bloated).

Game Of Thrones looks incredible on my QNIX.

PowerDVD by far is my favorite Blu-Ray and Blu-Ray 3D Playback software.

I agree Power DVD is the way to go for BD and 3D...
