Solved Bluray playback

[PSCO2007]

I just got my first Bluray drive and inserted a disc.

I also downloaded Make MKV and burned it to my HDD. MakeMKV - Make MKV from Blu-ray and DVD

The disc would not play, so I downloaded Arcsoft TotalMedia 6.

The disc opens and a keypad shows up ( says mouse not applicable), but there doesn't seem to be a way to play the main movie.

I have found that I can use VLC, but the Youtube videos say I have to upgrade VLC tp 2.0, which involves registry changes which I am hesitant to do.

Any program suggestions (even paid) that are user-friendly, or should I go the route of upgrading VLC?

Thanks,

Paul

VLC has a dev website about bluray and am assuming you've read it. VLC Blu-Ray

I can't be of more help as I don't have a bluray drive.

The information given by you is not sufficient enough to analyse and infer what exactly is the problem.

1. What exactly is the error message you get when you try to play the bluray on TMT6?

2. Your drive details?

3. Bluray title and region code? Did you try any other title?

4. Didn't your drive come with any software for Bluray playback?

Anyway, download the 21 day trial version of AnyDVD HD , run it in the background and check whether you are able to play the Bluray.

Error message says - Copywrite protected. This is the original Bluray disc.

This is Bluray Player - http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Computer/Computer+Drives/BDR-208DBK

I burned it to my HDD - It shows 30gb, but all choices inoperable.

Bluray is Standup guys - Region USA.

What is your opinion on upgrading VLC through Registry changes?

Can't download Anydvd - guess I downloaded in the past and says Trial expired.

 

[Prof Kerfuffle]

If it doesn't work via the commercial software I doubt vlc is going to do it.

I think we should try and get it to work via powerdvd. How are you connecting to your monitor? VGA/DVI/HDMI

Do you have the latest drivers for your Intel HD?

I am beginning to suspect it might be HDCP blocking you.

 

[PSCO2007]

Power Dvd does work, but I can't get it to show main menu - stuck going through all previews.

Connected by DVI.

All Intel drivers current.

 

[Prof Kerfuffle]

When does it say Copywrite protected?

Have you update powerdvd?

 

[PSCO2007]

That was on Arcsoft - Power Dvd (as I said above) plays, but no way to get to main menu.

 

[Prof Kerfuffle]

Is powerdvd updated as I have read people have had issues with bluray menus and an update fixed it and are you playing the bluray image or the physical disc?

 

[PSCO2007]

The disc plays - no menus.

The image (pic above) won't play - tried all three choices.

PSCO2007 Let me see if I understand correctly.

You have a bluray movie on a disc and it won't play is that correct?
Where did you get the disc from?

OR

You downloaded a movie and are trying to burn it to a disk and then play it.

Disc is from Redbox - won't play with Arcsoft. Does play with Power Dvd.
I would like to play the burned file, but can't get it to play from HDD.

 

[Layback Bear]

Okay I think I understand now.
You have rented a movie from Redbox that is wright protected and you are trying to copy it to your hard drive and then burn a disc. Is that correct?

 

[PSCO2007]

I used Make Mkv and on post 4 it shows the decrypted file- 30gb.

It does play (original bluray) using Power dvd - but no menus and have to wade through tons of previews.

To make matters worse, it plays on my stand-alone bluray player on my TV, but the quality is no better than a regular dvd.

I'm sorry I even got the internal bluray drive.

 

[Layback Bear]

Your confusing me.
Does the disc you got from Redbox not play on your Bluray player and plays using another player?
Your disc you got from Redbox with the movie is wright protected and can not be copied.

 

[PSCO2007]

The bluray plays on my comp with Powerdvd (not arcsoft which says it is write-protected.)

No menus on either, which is a royal pain.

The Makemkv program I referenced in (post 1) decrypted the files (post 4).

 

[Layback Bear]

Why are you trying to decrypt anything. Just play the movie in your bluray player and enjoy it.

 

[PSCO2007]

Well, I realized I used the program incorrectly (Makemkv) the first time.
Now it worked properly and the backup is correct.

Now, when I play the movie, it goes right to the main movie and the annoying previews are gone and it automatically gives me the option of using ccs and VLC plays it - no need to pay for a third-party player.

 

[Layback Bear]

I have two computers with bluray players and I don't use any 3rd party programs to play any DVD.

What program do you use to play blurays?
