Do any free software trials support Blu-ray?

[pkrdonk]

Hi

The Intervideo WINDVD that came with my computer doesn't seem to work. Goes non repsonding every time i try it.

Are there any players that have free trials that have Bluray functionality?

It seems ludicrous to me that none of them seem to. I won't buy one without being sure its going to play Bluray for me and I cannot think of a reason anyone would buy one of these players for any reason other than high def content.

ArcSoft used to have a trial... looks like they pulled it.

Trust me, ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre works on both of my VAIOs.

I also noticed that the trial link wasn't working. Unfortunately, I haven't seen companies that have made trials available w/ blu-ray support. It sure would be nice to make sure the product would work w/o having to buy it first.

I also have WinDVD 9 and don't like what Corel has done to it. I use to have an older version of of WinDVD from InterVideo but upgraded for Blu-ray support.

yeah i have intervideo WINDVD with Bluray support. it plays DVDs fine but seizes everytime i try bluray. surely the computer should come with working software.

and very annoying that no trials support bluray. why would anyone buy software to play dvds? of course we only want it for bluray support and its only fair to test it works.

might have to try a retail store for a copy to test

Older discs play fine in WinDVD BD, newer discs sit there with a black screen.
I replaced it!

My VAIOs can now play any Blu-ray!
