Sure, let us break it down.

if there wasn't a Blu-ray version becomes if there was not a Blu-ray version; now let us invert this: was there not a Blu-ray version

if there weren't a Blu-ray version becomes if there were not a Blu-ray version; now let us invert this: were there not a Blu-ray version

The correct form is "were". Remember, the subjunctive mood is our friend.
