I have a Sony BWU-500S blu-ray player on Windows 7 and while it does seem to play most blu-rays fine, there are certain ones that I have a problem with.

The ones with a problem, I can't open them with Totalmedia Theater (cannot open disk) and I get an error when I try to rip with AnyDVD. Creating an MKV with makeMKV does work on the disks with issues but I don't want to have to create an MKV just to watch every disk that won't load.

I have tried updating my drivers but that doesn't help. Is this drive out of date? I think I bought it 1.5-2 years ago. Do I need to buy a new one?

Thanks
