Good free blu ray software?

[xellos2099]

I just got a new blu ray drive but it didn't come with software so I want to know if there is any good blu ray player program out there. I google and there is something call DAplayer... how is it?

I through cyberlink powerdvd is a paid program?

[Almadacr]

The cyberlink powerdvd it's a paid program with a 30 day trial . I have it since it already came with my laptop but you have others that are free , you just need to try the one that fits what you want and keep it .

Search for Blu-ray Region Tray Tool and here's a tread on the topic.

Did you try searching for your drive's Serial Number? That would give you the best matching software to go along with your Blu Ray Drive. Also, try asking the experts by posting the details if your internal drive. Others might have the same device or good combinations in mind.

They're not free. Get ready to pay after a trial period.

There are no good PAID Blu-ray programs that I know of, so good luck finding a decent free one.

You can't go wrong with VLC. It plays pretty much anything you throw at it. It's free too. No ads or anything like that.

VLC can play them after a little bit of manual work... Google it, you will find how.

I purchased Total Media Theatre for bd playback on my pc's. Never had a problem with it.

I use Free Mac Player (yes, that's what it's called) if I want to check out a BD on my Mac. It works, but I wouldn't call it good.

I use VLC to play all my movies, disc or digital. Rarely my BD rips will play funky though so I have Media Player Classic as a backup. I like the UI of VLC better but between the two of them I can play anything.

plugs:
VLC Player (follow this guide for BD playback)
MPC-HC

I use AnyDVD HD to rip my BDs. It's not free (and expensive) but it is and always has been the best BD ripper, hands down. I have been using Slysoft since 2006 and have never regretted buying their software.

AnyDVD HD
VLC Player (follow this guide for BD playback)
MPC-HC

Hey man, just a heads up, discussion of how to rip BD's/DVD's is not allowed by forum rules. Not tryin to bust your balls or nothing, just don't wanna see you get reported/banned for something silly.

Oops, I remember reading that and I completely spaced.

Total Media Theatre works very well for me too! You can do screen captures with it also.

VLC for Blu-ray playback is a bit hit or for me!

Was this longer than 6 months ago? It seemed to be buggy initially, but I don't run into errors anymore. The only times I have to switch to MPC is when the playback gets wonky (skipping mostly).

My frustration with PowerDVD is what turned me to VLC in the first place
