Blu Ray decoder 64 bit windows 7

[kseannng]

I have a blu player on my computer and I can not get it to play blu ray dvds. I have a windows 7 on a 64 bit os. Can not find a decent decoder that is windows 7 and 64 bit software. Any suggestions, i'd like freeware however i will pay for it. I am able to play regular dvds in the blu ray player but the blu ray dvd will not.

thanks,

Hello kseannng.

Shark007's FREE Codec solutions. This place is good for Vista but is not so good on Seven. With Seven some blu ray movies work with sound and video but others work only with sound, you would also have to use AnyHDdvd to play the blu ray movie with in WMP. With Seven and or WMP 12 all movies play in another language instead of english.

Within Vista, all movies played in english having both video and and audio. My current method at the moment is dual boot Seven with Vista. I will be testing XP mode with AnyHDdvd, Shark 007 codecs and WMP11 combined.

You need something like Cyberlink's PowerDVD Ultra to be able to play blue ray.

Cyberlink 9 Ultra works on all my Blu-ray discs as well....No issues in Vista or Windows 7 thus far......

Hi,

I'm using ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre 3 Platinum, integrates with WMC and also plays back HD-DVD as well as Blu-Ray from not only the original disk but from Hard Drive ISO images and Ripped Folders/Files.

I've also used Power DVD Ultra 9 but TMT3 is more powerfull, so my son has that license now.

At the moment ArcSoft are giving the SimHD plugin away free with Platinum. That's their upscaling technology, turning standard-definition multimedia files and DVDs into high-definition ones.

Impressive!
I tried this software on a Blue Ray Rip to hard drive, ISO and virtual mount the image and it worked flawlesly.

Player Features, Supported Video Formats - MPC HomeCinema, The WMP Classic Home Cinema Features

where does it say it plays blue ray?

 

[ba5ik]

make sure you go into Options>Internal Filters>Transform Filters and uncheck H264/AVC (FFmpeg) and VC1(FFmpeg) to take full advantage of hardware decoding and free up your CPU.

 

[swarfega]

That doesnt help with playing blue ray discs though.

"Media Player Classic Home Cinema allows you to enhance, decode and accelerate a broad span of movie formats like x.264 with GPU assisted acceleration and image quality enhancing. The WMP Classic Home Cinema player does not require many system resources than the rest of the video media players to run smoothly. This is a low PC resources windows media player that runs on slower machines with older CPUs.
Modern graphics card offer the possibility to decode partially or completely a video stream using DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA), in order to reduce CPU usage dramatically. MPC-HC includes an embedded video decoder that uses this technology, to decode x.264, H.264 and VC-1 with hardly any CPU time required."

In other words it palys bluray

Does not play Blu-Ray

...this program does not natively play Blu Rays

In my experience, not all blu-ray movies are played OK on 64 bit Windows 7. So far I am not getting any satisfactory performance on Star Trek (2009). Strangely, same movie on 32 bit Windows 7 (and XP) is played flawlessly. Even after ripping the movie as a m2st file on a hard disk drive, performance was the same. So, I suspect that 86 bit Windows 7 has a flaw in playing some blu-ray movies. Has any one tried the Star Trek on 64 bit Vista or Win XP?

 

[swarfega]

star trek 2009 plays with no problems on my windows 7 pro 64-bit. Maybe you need shark's codec pack (install 64-bit components as well). See link in previous posts on this thread.

Dear Swarfega, I connected to <http://shark007.net/> and looked for 64 bit version but could not find. Only thing I found was 'ffdshow.exe'. Anyway I installed it but there is no clear improvement was observed. The movie is still very choppy. Can you tell me where and how I can find the 64 bit version of the codec?

Thank you!

What are your system specs? Can you post a screenshot of HWInfo32's summary screen? Search for snip in the start menu.

I installed Win7codecs_v229.exe and x64Components_v234.exe and followed the instruction to link codecs to WMP but the WMP did not play StarTrek blu-ray disc. I attach the requested snapshot.
