Blu Ray Player - Any alternatives to AnyDVD HD?
« on: September 15, 2015, 04:27:18 pm »

Hi

I've been using AnyDVD HD to play Blu Rays and it is has been working fine, but i'm now struggling to get it to work.

Can anyone else recommend a similar program which will do the same job as AnyDVD?

Cheers
James

Those are the only two (AnyDVD and DVDFab) that I know of.

I know it's not exactly the mechanism you're after but why not just rip the BD and then play back the generated vid file in MC?

This is how I roll:

I've trialled AnyDVD but have never gone the whole hog because I'd already opted for MakeMKV. I could have kept on using the software in trial mode for free and update the beta key every month or so but, in my case, it got to a point where I thought, "this software pretty well just works and it's worth going all the way".

I admit, there's some up front effort to name files and sift through the extras that come with a vid disc. However, once that's done you've got an MKV transcode that's as good as the original.

An alternative to consider ... maybe?
