So I bought a bluray drive...

...And i can't watch anything with it, WMP doesnt work, VLC doesnt work, WMP Classic doesnt work, i've tried tons of codecs, i've tried Powerlink PowerDVD but it says the trial version can't watch bluyrays. I'm running out of Ideas here...

Is there anyway to watch Bluyrays without buying 3rd party software?

AFAIK, nope. You gotta buy some software if it didn't come with any.

Just an FYI you do need a blu-ray player... drive.. @__@

Thanks for the help guys, I'll be getting some software soon, as I now have Firefly and the original SW Trilogy on bluray but can't play them. This does seem silly. Ghost_loy

I thought a VLC Update coming soon would allow the playing of Blueray DVD's?

But seriously a bluray drive SHOULD come with powerDVD license thats how it is mostly you shouldnt be the one ripped off unless you got the drive at a really low price.

-Higher quality movies due to less compression.

-Higher data transfer rates.

[QUOTE="Motokid6"][QUOTE="kraken2109"] 5x the storage space meaning far better quality is possible

Nope. You don't need one unless you plan to be watching movies or burning your data onto Blu-rays.
