Hello

To play a Blu - ray disc, you must use a non-Microsoft program that supports Blu - ray playback and a device that can play Blu - ray discs. You can search online by using your favorite search engine to get it.

  • Can Pavilion dv6 (2010, Windows 7) play Blu - Ray discs? If so, how to operate?

    Hello!

    I have a computer laptop dv6 Pavilion 2010 (Windows 7), and I can't play Blu - Ray discs.

    In my control panel (Control Panel-> hardware) and sound-> Auto Play, it lists "Blu - Ray Disc movie" as one of the media types, I can choose a value for default, but the only options it gives me are: "Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer", "Take no action" and "Ask Me every time."  So, I can not select a program to use to read discs Blu - Ray here.

    I tried to put in a Blu - Ray disc and see if it will open with Windows Media Player, iTunes, and HP MediaSmart, but none of these programs recognize there is a disc in the drive.

    When I insert the disc, the computer seems to recognize that I put something in, but when I check "Devices with removable storage" in the folder "My Computer", it is said that there is no disc in the drive.

    Then... I have two questions.
    (1) can my computer even Blu - Ray discs play?

    (2) if it is able to do, why my computer doesn't recognize Blu - Ray discs I put in?

    I don't really know what I would do to this subject, so if someone saw that they are willing to give, I would really appreciate it!

    Thank you!!

  • How can I get my dvd player to play blu ray discs.

    The software plays fine other DVDs, but won't play Blu Ray. This is the Pavilion dv7 3165 with operating system Windows 7 Premium. I never succeeded with this problem and thought that he would solve with updates...

    Download Cyberlink Power DVD10 and save it to the desktop, not in a temporary folder

    http://FTP.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp53001-53500/sp53029.ex

    After it's over, do a right click and go to properties and you should see what is in the screenshot.

    There has been many problems with software programs of virus blocking critical files in the player (s) Blu - ray. For the most part, disable the antivirus or programs was sufficient, but with McAfee, it had to be completely uninstalled. If at this point, uninstall your antivirus software, no matter what it is, and if there is a special tool required by the developer to uninstall properly, use their tool when it will exist. I know Norton and, possibly, Avira requires an uninstall tool.

    Once it is uninstalled restart your laptop and you will get the warning typical of Windows that the world will come to an end to crash, because you do not have an anti virus program on your computer. Just ignore it and continue with the installation of power DVD10, note that it is important that you stay connected to the internet, the software to install correctly. The link is directly from the view of HP it is has no viruses, Trojans etc attached.

    After it is done installing, restart your machine. This is important.

    After the restart, go to control panel, then Auto Play and make sure power DVD10 is chosen for Blu - ray discs, if it has not been chosen click the menu drop down and choose to do and save the setting. Restart your computer and go back to auto play and make sure that the setting has been saved.

    Then, open the drawer of the DVD/Blu-ray with the button on the front of the drawer itself and leave the charge for Blu - ray automatically with the opening of Cyberlink DVD 10

    At this point, you can reinstall your anti virus software if the drive Blu - ray continues to work then you will have to go into the advanced settings and find which files are blocked in the drive and let them. It's not always easy, so I advise to use ESET (not free) or Microsoft Security Essentials (free). I have used in the past and they never gave me any problems with my Blu - ray players.

  • P70-A-11R satellite will not play Blu - ray movies

    My recently purchased P70 - A is good (great actually!) in all respects, except it won't play Blu - ray movies.
    I have not tried burning a disc again. The DVDs are very well using the Toshiba Blu - Ray disc player software.

    Help advise do not run other applications when you look at the Blu - ray and is not the problem.
    The supplied reader software version is: v 1.0.5.175 and I can't find any more recent version.
    I put the player to region B, for discs from UK.

    Symptoms: The player will launch a window on insertion of a disc but then hang indicating it's playing a chapter for a period of 30 seconds (warning copyright?) but there is no picture or audio and commands do nothing, with only Labor icon eject disc.

    I tried 4 different discs well known and they all have the same result.

    Anyone got any ideas to try?

    Hey thanks for the comments.

    Hi, Bob:

    Have you installed the required playback blu - ray software?

    If you did, then I don't know why the drive can't read the blue ray discs.

    If you do not, please try this software.

  • PowerDVD will not play Blu - ray

    Dell Studio XPS 8100. Drive Blu - ray. PowerDVD came with the system.

    Well, I just bought my first Blu - ray disc. And now it will not play. PowerDVD tells me to update the software. Then I do. I restart the software. PowerDVD still tells me to update the software. Then I do. I restart the software. PowerDVD still tells me to update the software. And yet again, I do.

    And then PowerDVD will not even run at all. It crashes. I can't get anything.

    No problem, I tell myself. I will contact all the customer support.

    JAL out of luck - unless I want to pay.

    Wait a minute. I paid for the software, when I bought the system. I'm waiting for the software to work.

    I have updated the firmware of the player and for my graphics card. I jumped through all the hoops. And yet, PowerDVD crashes before I can do something with it.

    So what am I supposed to do? Why won't work PowerDVD?

    I see that this is not an unusual problem with the software. However, I still have to find a solution. Can someone help me?

    The likely reason for Apple does not officially play Blu - ray support on its machines

    is that there is no way for a software playback Blu - ray should be installed and "just works.

    (Well, since all Macs since 2006 boot Camp support and XP/VISTA/WIN7 is not quite correct.  If you install windows, it works.)

    There is also no Apple Blue ray software, but he needs an active internet connection to play the media.

    A third party did a player of Blu - ray compatible Mac OS X, called Macgo.

    Options for Blu - ray authoring have come from Apple in the form of compressor in Final Cut Studio and the third Roxio Toast Titanium.

    Blu - ray burners that work with them include those sold by the calculation of the other world and MCETechnologies and both can replace the built-in DVD burner

    most Macs. AirX do Blu-ray playable on iPhone/iPad/iPod touch

  • Qosmio X 500-116 will not play blue-ray discs

    Hello world

    bit of a newbie on laptops but my Qosmio dvd player won't play Blu - ray movies using the "Toshiba DVD Player", although it will play normal DVD movies no problem. I use the wrong software? search through programs pre-installed, I as ' nt seem to find those related to playback of a blue-ray disc! Or the problem would be something to do with not having the correct drivers? The laptop can read BD - RE drive, and I can look at the files but when I try and play movies Blue-ray using "Toshiba DVD player" he either says "application not found" or "launcher from DVD Toshiba cannot detect Toshiba DVD Player.

    Any help would be appreciated, thx

  • My PC play Blu-Rays?

    I plan to buy a Blu - Ray to my PC drive but I don't know if my PC can handle Blu - Ray.

    My PC Specs are:
    OS: Win Vista Business 32-bit SP2
    RAM: 2.0 GB
    PROCESSOR: Processor Dual Core T3400 2.17 GHz by heart
    VIDEO: nVidia GeForce 9400 M G

    Installed CODECS: K Lite Codec Pack (including the ffdshow)
    The PLAYERS INSTALLED: iTunes 10.5, Window Media player 11 & Media Player class Home Theater of SurgeForge (not the Microsoft program)

    With these specifications, if I have a Blu - Ray player with my PC play Blu-Rays?
    To after my research Blu - Ray files are encoded with the same codec MP4 as required to play an MP4 in Windows Media Player.So Blu - Ray is based MP4 and I can play MP4 movies (movies up to 1080 p MP4) so I think that my PC can play Blu - Ray movies, but I want an expert opinion on this.

    Of course, I have a Blu - Ray player on my TV (PS3) but I would like to play Blu-Rays on my PC while I'm away from home, so my PC to play Blu-Rays so I get a Blu - Ray player?
