Problem palying Blue ray on PC - Spec check - Blu-ray Forum

sdfuk · 05-09-2008, 01:39 PM

Hi

Just set up a new PC and have th following spec

Dell Ultrasharp 24" 2407 / HDMI + HDCP
ATI 3870 x2
Pioneer BDC-202BK

I thought that Nero was going to play the BD film staright away but now reealise that they are working on a patch.

Is my solution this:

1 . buy Cyberlink PDVD Ultra 8
2. buy anydvd if graphics card is not HDCP capable - I think it is given taht they talk about it having UDF to play Blue ray.

Thanks for any advice
S

OP: Not to be picky about your title, but yes I am picky. That should be Blu-ray (e is dropped).

According to the web the monitor and the graphics card are both HDCP compliment so you will need to get a proper software player.

You have the choice of PowerDVD 8.0 Ultra, WinDVD 9 Plus or Arcsoft Total Media Theatre. Each has their own little foibles so search these forums and then choose the one that looks the best to you and your kit.
