    Got a blu-ray drive in my PC today and am now looking for a blu-ray player. That is, I want to play BR discs directly, not to rip them to the hard drive. Any suggestion about what player should I get? Strangely, info on BD players on the internet is scarce or outdated. This article sheds some light on the topic, but I prefer actual user feedback.
    Thanks to anyone responding.

    Did your drive not come w/ software? Anyway you can install the kpac lite codec and watch your blurays on vlc and wmp11. When /if you install kpac lite set the ffshow to decode VC-1.

    vlc can play discs without ripping them to the hdd?
    I thought there is encryption or whatnot involved.

    I told ya wrong. I tried to play an orginal BD w/ vlc and it would'nt work. Powerdvd, and totalmedia have BD versions. If your able to DL Dell mediadirect it has a BD version.

    Got a blu-ray thrust in my PC today and am now looking for a blu-ray contestant. That is, I impoverishment to romp BR discs straight, not to rip them to the uphill thrust. Any proposition active what participant should I get? Funnily, substance on BD players on the net is scarce or superannuated. This article sheds few insufficient on the message, but I upgrade factual soul feedback.
