Windows 10 and Blu-Ray viewing software compatibility issues

[ai8den]

I have the majority of my gaming pc completed but have to add an optical drive so I'll be able to burn discs and play dvd/blu-ray movies. As I understand it Windows 10 doesn't come with blu-ray playing software so additional software has to be purchased separately. The trouble is that there seems to be a lot of compatibility issues between Windows 10 and the various software options available. Does anyone have personal experience on what will work?

Hi,

I would say just install K-Lite codec that should make you play BlueRay movies You'll be able to use the Media Player with all the codecs to play BlueRay.

Here's the link where you can download K-Lite Codec.

If these will not work do try using VLC as your player as well.

I bought a LG Black 16X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 5X DVD-RAM 12X BD-ROM 4MB Cache SATA Blu-ray Burner WH16NS40 so I'll definitely keep this in mind once it gets here. Thanks!

Laptop_Nerd, I just wanted to update you a bit. VLC wasn't able to play Blurays(despite downloading libaacs.dll and keydb.cfg) but plays dvd's beautifully. Vlc has an option for bluray though so I kept searching and found a youtube video with a commenter suggesting DVDFAB pass key to play in the background...and it worked! I tried the PowerDVD 15 demo with mixed results(strangely it could play BluRays but dvd's stuttered) I wanted to thank you because you provided the starting point which ended up saving me $60+ which can go toward my monitor/GPU Thanks again!
