madschultz1 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hello Kametsu community. I have a question I wanted to ask. I have recently purchased a Blu-ray Drive to watch Blu-rays on my laptop. I was wondering: what program do you guys use to play your Blu-rays? Which software is the best? I currently have the Leawo Blu-ray Player installed, but there are some issues. It takes a good minute to start the disc and not being able to navigate the Blu-ray menu with the mouse is a pain...

DeathTheKid Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Wouldn't mpc-hc suffice for this? I know I've used it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnawind Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Personally, Media Player Classic Home Cinema is the only multimedia player I have used since K-Lite Mega Codec pack started using it (and its predecessor MPC). It has the capability of running practically any audio and video file, as long as the proper decoders are in the program or installed on your system. It has many different renders, also, which depnding on which is used, can determine how fast they load up, but it has full access to the menus with a mouse.

madschultz1 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I have MPC installed on my laptop actually. How do I get it to play blu-rays? Any guides available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might need to change the DirectShow filter used or the decoder. These options can be found in the player's options menu. I sometimes have to do that when switching from playing video files to just watching DVDs. EDIT: Apparently, MPC-HC doesn't support modern BD releases with their newer encryption. To get around that, you need a decrypter, like DVD AB, which is commercial software (non-free). Due to the newer restrictions, I recommend using wither Cyberlink PowerDVD, which comes with most BluRay drives, or AnyDVD HD. If you plan to play BDs from different regions, I would recommend AnyDVD HD, though it is commercial software, also.

DJHulp Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Nero Blu-Ray Player (Discontinued), Arcsoft Total Media Theatre (Discontinued), Corel WinDVD, DVDFab Media Player & CyberLink PowerDVD, Kodi. This software above plays full Menu Blu-Ray. Even the Discontinued Nero plays still the New Movies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
