Best blu ray playback software?

Redmint · 29 May 2011 at 01:07

Wasn't sure if this belonged in here or the home theatre section, but anyway what do people think is the best blu-ray software for Windows?

TotalMedia Theatre 5 is worth a look (think there is a 30 day free trial)

Interesting. If true, it's the only free Bluray player out there.

Wonder how kosher it is...

Finally a free solution for Blu ray, it took long enough, but now cyberlink will probably bring prices down i reckon

No worries. I have mentioned in another thread on here before but the OP just ignored it so their loss really.

Well it seems they also provide software which strips copy protection, which is definitely not kosher, so i would give it a kosher rating of 0. Afaik the reason there are a lack of free players is the playback license cost from Sony

Sorry for the slow reply, thanks for the advice guys, I would prefer legal software so if it strips copy protection I'll probably give it a miss.

Another vote for Arcsoft Total Media Theatre use it on both desktop and Media Centre PC and it's excellent never given me any problems.

Cyberlink PowerDVD +1 - my vote.
