Blu Ray Pc Player Software
Many of you ask me how to play Blu-ray with VLC, so I give you a quick summary / tutorial to explain it. VLC has recently moved to the Golden Eyes version 1. 1 and has made significant progress in decoding quality. In other words, on a monitor you will see no difference in quality with paid blu ray pc player software like PowerDVD and Total Media Theater 3. The only problem is that it requires a pretty beefy PC to decode HD video with the highest quality and no stutters, even with a Dual Core. Fortunately, since this latest version of VLC now supports DXVA hardware acceleration, which relieves the CPU using the power of the GPU decoding. If your PC stutters on the train and HD video it will activate it (see this article to activate the DXVA with VLC). Small problem, many Blu-ray discs have HDCP or PAPS to prevent illegal copies and read them without paying software. A company that released a blu ray pc player software that supports these protections must pay royalties, that's why all blu ray pc player software that support the Blu-ray loaded with full functionalities (menus, BD Live, . . . ) are not free. (Learn more about HDCP). To read the Blu-ray with VLC, it can then enter the directory Blu-ray in the starter menu click Computer in Windows, your Blu-ray appears. Right click on the icon of the BD and click Open Explorer or whether you're running XP, Vista, Seven, then you have three directories: AACS, BDMV and CERTIFICATE, the latter it will open, then you open the STREAM directory, there you right click on the largest file and Open With . . . and choose VLC. I would also suggest that some BD the film into several files, it will then create a playlist of these files for VLC to read them one after the other. Recently I also discovered that VLC can access pay-TV bouquet of Orange via their IP addresses, to see the free channels on their PC. But that is another story which I will explain in a future article . . . . To conclude, note that to read an ISO image of Blu-ray with VLC, it will be the same principle, except that we must mount the ISO using a program like DVDFab Virtual Drive software that allows the Play VLC (or MPC, KMPlayer PDVD110, TMT 3 or other . . . ) to recognize the ISO image as if it were a real Blu-ray in a virtual drive. Otherwise it may happen that PowerDVD does not recognize some 10 new Blu-ray 2D and 3D, because of new protections that requires updating the blu ray pc player software to support them! It's painful!. Alternatively, I suggest you try to download ArcSoft TotalMedia Theater from 5 to try and do not forget to configure the 3D part. (This is a paid app, very effective, that reads Blu-ray and MKV 3d 3D, but it is free to test three weeks . . . ). . . .
