Blu-ray movies no longer play on ANY program

To whom it may concern,
I purchased Corel WinDVD Pro 11, hoping it would resolve an issue I'm having with playing blu-ray movies on my HP as of late. HP MediaSmart randomly stopped working (note, I have changed nothing on the computer since it stopped working).
On HP MediaSmart I get the message "The content is protected. The content is not allowed to play in the current display mode."
On Corel WinDVD Pro 11 (which it used to play movies a few months ago with the trial, thus me trusting in you guys, I purchased the program) it now says "Your display environment does not support protected content playback." Thus, I deleted the trial before it even expired.
I do not use an alternate display, I use the HP2310 monitor I bought with my computer. A Radeon 2700 series HD graphics card. And my factory DVD/blu-ray drive.
Please help! This is the only blu-ray player I have, and I got a bunch of new blu-rays for both my birthday and Christmas that I can't even watch. =(
Respectfully,
Justin T

Can I watch Blu-ray on my iPad? Need any programs?

I want to know is there any method allowing me to watch Blu-ray discs on my iPad...

Actually it is possible if your got internet connection and some programs such as iDeer Blu-ray Player. It has the "AirX" technology that can transfer the content of the blu-ray disc you watched on Mac/PC through Safari, of course to achieve this, you need a Blu-ray drive ( USB above 2.0 ). I don't know if there is any other method, but I tried this program and the AirX it contains, finding it works well and requires very simple user operation.

Watching blu-ray movies on mac pro?

Hello,
I have a 3.0 Harpertown Mac Pro and was wondering how the performance is when watching a 1080p blu-ray movie using windvd under windows 7? My current video card is the ATI Radeon 4870 Mac edition and my monitor is the 24 inch cinema display with isight.
I just purchased from owc an internal blu-ray drive. I have really been spending my money on middle of the summer clothing rather than more memory on my mac pro. My current mac pro memory is at 2GB. With the video card I have + monitor and memory, will I be able to power a 1080p blu-ray movie?

I play Blu Ray movies on my Mac Pro (early 2009, 16 GB RAM) w/MCE Blu Ray drive and an ATI HD 4870 video card. I use Vista Ultimate and Corel WinDVD 9 Plus w/Blu Ray to play them and the quality is superb.
I don't know what the minimum RAM would be but I'd guess that 2GB would give questionable results.
Good luck.

I purchased a blu ray movie that came with a i tunes digital copy.But when i went to redeem my code i was issued the HD copy of the film,wich is not compatiable to play on my i pod 160 classic.Is there any way i could be reimbursed for this movie?

I purchased a blu ray movie of Expendables 2 that came with a i tunes digital copy of the film.But when i redeemed my code i was given a HD copy of the film.So when i try to sync it onto my ipod it says it cannot be played on my ipod.I am assuming the reason it is not compatible with my i pod is because it is a HD copy of the film.Would like to be compensated w another code to redeem a non HD copy.

I am assuming the reason it is not compatible with my i pod is because it is a HD copy of the film.
That is correct.
Head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link on the right, and then select Movies and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available. You might be able to download the SD version now from under this same page. Any luck there?

No sound when playing Blu ray movies

I just recently got Direct TV and now my tv has no sound when playing my Blu ray movies. I have a LCD 32 inch 32C100U1 model tv and a LG Blu ray player. When I look for audio on the TV menu I only see HDMI 1 sound and my Blu ray is hooked up to HDMI 2 input. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cant play blu ray movies

Cannotplay blu ray movies on my HPE-570f running window 7

Hi,
As you're probably aware, blu ray optical drives have Two lasers, one for reading CDs and DVDs and the other dedicated to reading blu ray discs. With this in mind, it's always possible that the blu ray component of the drive has failed.
As a further test, uninstall PowerDVD 12 and MediaSmart DVD ( if it's still installed as both are Cyberlink products ).
When done, restart the PC.
When windows has reloaded, try installing the free 15 day trial of ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre 5 from the following link.
http://www.arcsoft.com/totalmedia-theatre/
When the installation has completed, restart the PC before trying to play a blu ray disc.

Can I watch Blu-ray movies on my MacBook Pro 17-inch?

If this is possible at all, I think there are two or three issues to be addressed.
First, I understand that to display Blu-ray movies, the display must be HDCP compliant. All I know is that mine has adequate resolution (1920 x 1200). I called AppleCare and they could not verify HDCP compliance; however, they also did not find any information explicitly stating that it is not. Does anyone know the answer to this, and if it is indeed required?
Second, I need an external Blu-ray drive that will work on a Mac with OS X 10.6.4. Ideally it would not require an external power supply. I've got a laptop, so the more portable the solution, the better.
Third, I'm guessing I'll need new software to play the movies on the disc, rather than the pre-installed software that plays regular DVDs. I would prefer a Mac software solution; however, I do have Windows running under Parallels Desktop 5. I am concerned that if I go with a Windows solution (such as PowerDVD 10 Deluxe) playback could be choppy given the dual demands of Blu-Ray HD and the Windows virtual machine it's running on.
Any advice? Thanks.

Find an external blu-ray player for OS X. Apple has yet to support Blu-Ray in any way, shape, or form

Blue ray Burner Won't play Blue rays

I bought a HP Pavilion Dv6-2119tx (WF606PA) a couple of months a go last night I hired my first Blue ray Movie and the Laptop says it is set to Region A (US ...) where as I live in Australia and the Region is Region B and the Laptop was bought at Binglee Australia how do I set the drive to region B. I know how to set the DvD region to 4 for Australia in the Drive properties in My Computer (Windows 7 Home Premium) but it says nothing about Blue ray region settings.
Thanks for any help

Hi,
You should be able to set region in software which You are using to play blue-ray's.

Ripping blu ray movies?

Hey all,
I've had my MacBook Pro for just over a year now (bought it of black friday last year), and I have a question. I have a few blu ray movies that I want to rip to my laptop with Handbrake, but my computer just ejects them after 15 or so seconds, much to my fury. I've been looking at external blu ray players online, but can't seem to find any viable solution. So, does anyone know if I could plug my laptop into my DVD player or something? And if not, could you please propose another solution?
Cheers

To quote Apple's Terms of Service regarding your question:
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
Furthermore, OSX cannot decode BluRay discs, so you cannot play them on a Mac. Don't ask why, that's a question for Apple. Other than that, we cannot discuss anything else.

Blu-ray DVD no longer recognized by HP MediaSmart or Windows Media Player

I have the HP Pavilion Elite HPE 250-f desktop computer. This computer includes a CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive. I bought this computer in 2010, and all these years I have successfully played CDs and DVDs on the computer. Until now, I have not attempted to play a Blu-ray DVD.
A few days ago, I rented the "Divergent" Blu-ray DVD from my public library. The "Divergent" regular DVD was included in the package.
I put the Blu-ray into the CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive. The HP MediaSmart software recognized the Blu-ray, but the software got into an endless "update" loop and did not play the Blu-ray. Microsoft's Windows Media Player also recognized the Blu-ray, but did not play the Blu-ray.
One solution I heard about was to plug an HDMI patch cord into the back of my computer box, with the other end of the HDMI patch cord not plugged into anything. Supposedly, the HP MediaSmart software would play a Blu-ray if the software sensed an HDMI cord. Unfortunately, that did not work.
I then downloaded the Media Player Codec Pack, http://download.cnet.com/Media-Player-Codec-Pack/3000-13632_4-10749065.html Supposedly, this Codec Pack would allow the Windows Media Player to play the Blu-ray. The Codec Pack included the Classic Media Player.
I tried to play the Blu-ray on the current Windows Media Player and the Classic version, with the new codecs installed. But nothing worked. I then used System Restore to get rid of the Media Player Codec Pack. I found out that, in addition to the codecs, I was supposed to use the Slysoft AnyDVD HD software. However, I did not make any more attempts to use the codecs, and I did not download the Slysoft software.
Now, here's where things get weird. Now, the HP MediaSmart software and the current Windows Media Player do not even *recognize* the Blu-ray DVD. They play the regular "Divergent" DVD very well. But they do not even *see* the Blu-ray DVD.
I uninstalled the BDDVDRW CH20L driver, version 6.1.7600.16385 (win7_rtm.090713-1255). I restarted the computer, and a new driver was installed. The new driver's version is 6.1.7601.17514. But the Blu-ray DVD is *still* not being recognized.
Now, I'm hearing that a Blu-ray lens cleaner may be required.
So, what's going on here? Did the codecs in the Codec Pack damage the Blu-ray lens? Please advise.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hi, BH. Thanks for your response.
sp60287.exe seems to be for Windows 8. I have Windows 7.
But even if I got a PowerDVD version for Windows 7, I still have the issue of the Blu-ray disc not even being detected. The Blu-ray disc is in the drive, but the software (HP MediaSmart, Windows Media Player) says that there is no disc in the drive. This "no detection" issue began after I installed the codecs in the Codec Pack and tried to make Windows Media Player work with the codecs. Is there an issue with the Blu-ray lens? Or is there an issue with the Blu-ray disc itself?
I notice that the regular "Divergent" DVD has no fingerprints on it, even after I touch it. But the Blu-ray DVD has lots of fingerprints. Does the Blu-ray have some kind of weird surface? Is there some problem with the Blu-ray's surface that is causing the Blu-ray to not even be detected?
Thanks.

Redeem a Code from a Blu-Ray Movie

Can anyone help me or have any suggestions for the last month at least twice a day I've tried to redeem a code that I've gotten with the purchase of the Blu-Ray movie Parker.
Every time that I've tried to redeem I'm getting this message when ever I've tried to download or pick later has an option I'm getting this message... Code redemption is temporarily unavailable. Try Again later. But all of the other codes that I've redeemed 9 other movies in the same period and no problem ? Can anyone have suggestions....?
Thank You,
Yours Truly
Mario

My problem did correct itself... I'm not sure how exactly so I won't be much help. I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything many times and that never helped. I did take my firewall down and made some changes in Nortons as far as blocking and allowing things through, anything apple related I let through. Then I just keep trying with no luck to download the movie and the update. I left my computer on and running all night and when I woke up the next morning both of the downloads were completed.... I honestly don't know exactly what I did. It may have been because I let it try all night on it's own. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck!!

Can I burn a Blu-Ray movie on an Imac?

I'm aware of the issues involving Blu-Ray playback on Mac.....my question is simple though:
If I use Final Cut to make a blu-ray movie and purchase an external blu-ray burner, can I make a blu-ray video disk for playback on a blu-ray player hooked up to a television?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

OWC's hardware product descriptions, for example
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MRF8BDSD8X/
says that you can. However, current Apple software cannot burn to Blu-ray discs. Third-party software, such as Toast 10
http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/titanium/overview.html
should be able to burn to Blu-ray discs. I am not sure if this capability is just for burning data discs, or if it can create Blu-ray movie discs.

ATI 3870 fan noise; Blu-ray movie playback works with 3870.

Is there a better fan/heatsink for 3870? I just replaced my stock 7300GT with 3870 but fan noise is annoying and is louder than my Mac Pro system fans. Thanks.
I just like to share to everybody that 3870 works with Buffalo external USB Blu-ray(tested with Vista). My stock 7300GT will not playback Blu-ray movies because it's not HDCP compliant.
Nathan

I just removed the fan off my x1900 and it's a joy to listen to now. Dead silent.
Here are some photos of how easy it was. Take off memory heat syncs, take off electric heat syncs, and then the fan off the chip. Wipe it with a tissue. Then take an eraser and rub until all residue is gone. Then just stick and peel the heat syncs where they fit.
The only trick was getting the clips to fit on the board. I had to take off the long metal piece that ran the length of the board so the clips could fit around it.
Anyway hope this helps someone out there.
