  1. What is the Best Windows 10 Blu-ray player?


    Want to watch Blu-ray discs on your Windows 10 PC? DVDs are fairly simple to deal with on Windows 10, but what about Blu-ray? These discs are now the standard for HD video on the physical format, and as more and more of us use our PCs for home entertainment, it's perfectly acceptable to want to play a Blu-ray on it.
    <h3>Do you need a Blu-ray player software?</h3>
    That’s a brilliant question. Here is the deal. If you have the disc, and you want to play it, you have two options. Blu-ray player or software or ripped content from the original source. If the content is already ripped, you can play it with any player, but to play with the external player, you need the software.Right now, we are going to talk about software which can do it for you. So insert the Blu-ray disc in your player, and use this software to play it.
    <h2>Blu-ray player software for Windows 10</h2>
    We always have seen software which lets consumers play formats which were never supported on Windows. The same applies to Windows 10, which is better compared to its previous version, with native support for MKV, and other formats.

    <strong>1] VLC media player
    </strong>

    This is the best option you have, and with its reputation to play almost any format, there is no better alternate solution. Developers behind this player have developed,<code>libbluray</code> which is an <b>open-source</b> library designed for Blu-Ray Discs playback for media players, like VLC or MPlayer.
    <div>VLC also offers to remove few Blu-ray protections including AACS, BD+ DRM. However it’s limited, and you need to add the keys to decrypt and play. So in short, you cannot pirate copyrighted videos, but if a video that you own, you can get the keys and play it on your PC.</div>
    Assuming you have the Blu-ray disc in your external Blu-ray drive and enjoy the videos without having to convert them to a digital file.
    <ul>
    <li>Open VLC media player &gt; Media &gt; Open Disc</li>
    <li>Select Blu-ray from the choice, and then browse to locate the folder which has the movie.</li>
    <li>Start playing Blu-ray movies on Windows with VLC.</li>
    </ul>
    Please use desktop version to play this. That said, it only playbacks Blu-ray disc with AACS libraries exposed. So how do you play others? You’ll need two files: <b>keys database</b> and <b>AACS dynamic library</b>. Follow the steps below:
    <div></div>
    <ul>
    <li>Download the files from <a href="https://vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name/" rel="nofollow">here.</a></li>
    <li>Copy, paste the keys database file in C:\ProgramData\aacs\. You might have to unhide the folder.</li>
    <li>Copy AACS dynamic library( libaacs.dll), and place it in your VLC directory.</li>
    </ul>
    This will make sure you can play Blu-ray on Windows 10, including those for which the key is exposed.

    <strong>2] MakeMKV</strong>

    This video converter can convert even the encrypted formats into a format which you can easily play on your Windows 10 PC. It coverts into MKV format which you can play using VLC player layer. The advantage of MKV format is that it can store multiple video/audio tracks with all meta-information and preserve chapters.

    <em>Note:</em> We do not encourage anyone to copy content which is protected by the law. Use it only for personal use.

    Here is the list of features:
    <div>
    <ul class="bullets">
    <li>Reads DVD and Blu-ray discs, including those protected with latest versions of AACS and BD+</li>
    <li>Preserves all video and audio tracks, including HD audio, chapters information, meta-information (track language, audio type)</li>
    <li>Claims for Fast conversion.</li>
    <li>Can stream videos.</li>
    <li>Available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux</li>
    </ul>
    </div>
    Download it from <a href="http://www.makemkv.com/" rel="nofollow">here.</a>
    <p class="pro"><strong>3] U2USoft Blu-ray Player </strong></p>
    If you are looking for a player which can just play videos from your Blu-ray player, this is what you need. Its an alternative to VLC and is free of cost. Below is the list of features:
    <ul>
    <li>Supports subtitles and audio tracks.</li>
    <li>Supports various advanced audio decoding technologies including Dolby, AAC, TrueHD, DTS-HD and DTS 5.1</li>
    <li>Standard media controls.</li>
    <li>You can create and play playlists.</li>
    <li>Custom program skin and background.</li>
    <li>In-built Power Manager to let you see PC or laptop power status and do settings to protect the battery.</li>
    <li>Professional player for Blu-ray Disc, BD ISO, BD Folders.</li>
    <li>Professional player for DVD Disc, DVD ISO, DVD Folders.</li>

    <li>Support Cinavia protected Blu-rays and videos.</li>
    <li>All three Blu-ray disc formats(MPEG-2, AVC, and VC1) are supported.</li>
    <li>Play blu-ray movies with DTS HD or Dolby TrueHD Audio.</li>
    <li>Play any video format, HD/SD video with no limitation.</li>
    <li>Support 4K Blu-ray movies playback <img src="http://www.ufusoft.com/image/home/new.gif" alt="" /></li>
    <li>Play H.265/HEVC encoding 4K video files losslessly on your PC <img src="http://www.ufusoft.com/image/home/new.gif" alt="" /></li>
    <li>Support Windows 10, Windows 8.1/8, Windows 7, Windows XP, Win Vista, etc.</li>
    </ul>
    Apart from playing Blu-ray format, it can also play AVI, MPEG, WMV, MP4, FLV, RMVB, MOV, Xvid, 3GP, etc. and up to 4k UHD or 1080P HD videos in HD MP4, HD AVI, HD MOV, HD TS, HD TRP, HD VOB, HD MPG, HD WMV, HD ASF.

    Download it from <a href="http://www.u2usoft.com/blu-ray-player/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

    That said, Blu-ray is a mess to be very honest, and this has happened before with any new format. You will have to depend on the inbuilt player that comes with the drive, and use it or use one of the above-listed players.

    Issues with ASUS DVD & LG Blu-ray players not working in Windows 10?

    Windows 10 will not recognize the actual ASUS DVD & LG Blu-ray players installed in my PC? This issue also occurred in Windows 7.

    I've followed suggestions for reg fixes and Windows fixes only for them to work temporally with the players eventually being lost to Windows again.

    When I do get Windows to find the players the DVD player works on and off and the Blu-ray player won't play Blu-ray discs?

    It's funny my computer won't start without a Windows 10 instillation DVD (made when Windows 10 first came out) in the Blu-ray player bay yet Windows 10 can't find the player when my compute is on?

    Any suggestions to fix this permanently?

    Thanks,

    John

    PS LG doesn't offer any drivers for their player either.
