Playing Blu Ray Discs
« on: November 30, 2014, 08:02:09 am »

Hi Folks,

Very recently, I purchased Pink Floyd's latest album, The Endless River. The option I chose was the combined CD and Blu-Ray combo. As the audio on the Blu-Ray is 24bit/96kHz, I was keen to try it out. I put the disc in my Blu-Ray compatible media player and, using JRiver MC 18 was prompted to make a selection. I chose the Play option. There was some disc activity, then my computer screen went blank.

Using JRiver's Help facility, it seems that I may need to install AnyDVD HD but it is expensive. Do the later versions of JRiver MC allow playback of Blu-Ray discs?

Thanks in advance.

The wiki has a topic on Blu-ray.  It requires a reader.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I had a look at the wiki but it didn't answer my question about more recent J River MC versions. In fact, it wasn't clear to me which versions of MC the wiki was referring to. It seems odd that JRiver MC can only play unencrypted Blu-Ray discs. If most commercial discs are encrypted (for good reason), I would have expected MC to handle these with ease.

The wiki still applies.   You could try an Internet search to read about the general subject.
