Bluray software advice/help?

[ginger001]

After a lot of fighting with the BD I really think I was very happy in the land of DVDs...

I got a BD/DVD player for my laptop (external one) it's a samsung player and I have been playing DVDs with it with no problem. I tried to watch my first BD and I've been struggling all morning!

I can't play it using VLC because some library missing and I had to install the Power DVD 10 that came with the Bluray player but when trying to play a BD it says I need to update to version 12 and I can't seem to be able to do that...

I need some advice and help from those of you who already have a bluray player and are way more experienced than I am. I wanted to play blurays with VLC and I hate PowerDVD from when I used it long ago...

Any idea/feedback... :(

Im not sure for Samsung, but if your laptop has a blueray player then there should already be a default program in there that plays bluray. Try typing bluray on your computer search box, it should give u the default player for it.. Hope this kinda helps

You can try downloading the trial to see if it works, it Corel WinDVD Pro 11, plays bluray
