More Information

Is there anything out yet for playing Blu-ray movies on a computer??? such as a free media player like VLC that is capable of playing blu-ray movies bought from shops. or is it only the likes of PowerDVD that play them. i have a Pioneer 202 Blu-ray Rom drive in mty computer if that helps.

Thanks in advanced ;)

im seeking the same thing as you are. its impossible to find anything to do with blu-ray on the pc. ive searched and searched and cant find any answers to any of my questions.
I do have PowerDVD 7 ultra that came with my LG Blu-ray/HD DVD drive but ive ran into serious problems with it.
its played about 5 different titles so far without any problems but i got a couple new titles like "Jumper" and it wont play them, it freezes up my computer and then crashes(blue screen of death).
its fustrating because theres so few people out there that even have blu-ray players for the pc. or if there is then i guess theres very few people having problems with them because i cant find any help.
if anyone is having the same problem help me out, i want to know if its something wrong with my hardware or if its simply a much needed patch for powerdvd.
