blu-ray playback software
I'm looking for software that can playback blu-ray media. My brother bought me a player for my laptop over a year ago and I've yet to put it to good use. This is going to change soon however and I would like to know if anyone has any recommendations for software. I'm hoping for something that isn't too expensive but i'll be willing to settle if there's nothing cheap. Preferrably something under 40 but no more than 100.

This is hard to be cool and suave while being informative at the same time. Goddamn my coolness.
In my experience, common sense isn't too common.

I'm disappointed, you're telling me nobody knows of any blu-ray playback software?

The blu-ray drive wasn't originally part of the laptop, and Windows Media Player doesn't read blu-ray format.arfy4 wrote:Doesn't the computer come with software that plays blu rays?

Re: blu-ray playback software
Blu-Ray is an enormous ripoff, thanks to Sony, so they charge you $50-$100 for the drive to read the disk, and then that much again for the software that can actually interpret what the drive reads. If the drive didn't come with the software, you're pretty much looking for an independant software suite that includes a bunch of useless features, as an excuse to charge as much as possible for a simple bloody codec.

Corel's WinDVD, Cyberlink's PowerDVD, or Arcsoft's TotalMedia Theatre are the responses some Googling yields me. Honestly though, I've never dabbled in Blu-Ray, and don't have any opinion on the matter.
