The VideoLAN Forums View topic - Blu-Ray disc playback
My feature request for vlc media player is to have blu-ray disc playback.
Currently we can't playback blu-ray discs so you should add this feature as lots of new computers have blu-ray drives now.
You should include all the codecs and decoders needed to play the blu-ray discs.

Unfortunately none of the VLC developers have a Blu-Ray drive yet (at least not that I know).

Hi,
the little AnyDVD HD takes care of it ( http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvdhd.html ).
Takes all the protection on the fly.
Also makes .iso with or without protection.
What we need now is VLC to play it
So yes, I support the request.
Thanks,
mbo

playing it is easy.
The .evo (or whatever it is) files are just ordinary mpeg files.
Sometimes they may be h.264 or VC1, but no big trouble.
regarding what dionoea said, I fully agree.
This is a community supported project thats not as widely concidered important as other stuff like Firefox and most distros.
How can someone expect the team to get a PS3, Xbox 360, Blu Ray Drive, HD-DVD drive, apple TV and a 200 inch home theater ?

On Linux, blindly use VLC, SMPlayer, Kaffeine, GXine, Totem and MPlayer
PM requests to attend to problems will not be entertained

Hi,
what I do is I make an .iso using AnyDVD HD and than I mount it as a drive using SlySoft free utility .
System see it as BD player and I can play it with PowerDVD.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but all what is needed is few .iso files ?
Thanks,'mbo

AnyDVD HD isn't available for Mac or Linux.
.evo files are for HD DVD, not Blu-ray.

Hi,
true.
However, iso images made by AnyDVD are protection stripped.
Therfore can be played on any OS.

There are many issues with blu-ray support.
A major obstacle I could foresee would be having to provide support for java: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#Java_software_support

Hello,
On the (German-language) webpage
http://www.chip.de/artikel/Vergleich..._31718113.html ,
I have found a possibility for VLC users to access movies on Blu-ray discs.
Here is a short summary in English:
*
With AnyDVD-HD, VLC can access Blu-ray discs.
The movie on the disc is in a M2TS container and has a structure similar to the one of a transportation stream of digital television.
This is why VLC can open it.
If it works, it will play the video, because there are free decoders available for all three formats, AVC, VC-1, and MPEG2.
There are no free decoders for the new audio formats such as DTS-HD.
Exception: A Dolby-Digital-Plus filter for the FFmpeg codec collection is being developed, but it is only suitable for coding experts.
It is not possible to accesss menus and specials of the Blu-ray disc.
To do so, a filter would be necessary.
*
My questions:
1.
Has anyone already been successful in accessing Blu-ray movies in the way described above (I have no Blu-ray equipment, so I cannot test it myself)?
If so, what about BDs from different Regions?
2.
Can VLC's Blu-ray abilities be improved?
Many greetings,
A Friend

1. MPEG-2 encoded movies might work.
TS parsing is bit broken for other codecs so AVC and VC-1 prolly won't work.
(search Windows forums to find out complains)
2.
TS support will hopefully get better at some point.
But for Java, decryption or other difficult stuff ain't coming anytime soon (and AFAIK nobody is creating support for those).
