You can get Dolby Digital and DTS playback. They all serve a purpose.Īpple dropped the ball on blu ray playback and even if one can get a decent player, Apple in its infinite wisdom elected to NOT support HD Audio (DTS-Master as example). However, I use VLC quite often along with MPlayerX for fast views. Many movies are now branched and that means multiple M2TS files. That only works if the movie is in one M2TS file. So far, iDeer seems to work the best for straight playing the movie portion of BluRay ISOs, but no support for menus it seems, however you still appear to be able to view special features under "Other Titles" though a bit raw and blind in what you're doing/selecting without menus. Macgo Blu-ray Player ( ) Appears to be the same program and company as iDeer only I couldn't even get it to load (eternal spinning wheel). iDeer Mac Blu-ray Player ( ) Really fast and lightweight and plays BluRay ISOs great, does not appear to support full menus. It does appear to support full menus, but takes forever to load. DVDFab Media Player ( ) It "works", but is buggy and slow, also has issues with full screen. UPDATE - I'll make a list of my findings so far of software that plays BluRay ISO:
Which gets the job done, but it's also a bit laggy/buggy and has problems with full screen mode so watching movies is definitely not ideal.ĭoesn't matter if it costs money, I'm looking for hands-down, the best way to play my BluRay ISOs directly (not looking to convert or burn onto disc again - which defeats the whole purpose).Īny suggestions? Anyone else already find the holy grail of all media players on Mac?
I've searched and I've searched and the best I could find was: Now that I'm backing up/digitizing my BluRay collection I immediately learned that VLC cannot handle BluRay ISOs (yet) like it can DVD ISOs. So that's the why and enough of the nerd gushing. The setup that I've created is far cooler and superior than any other way currently possible to organize and watch one's media collection. I can watch movies and TV with my Apple Remote on-the-fly. I've got my external hard drive connected to my laptop, which is connected to my big screen. I've been completely digitizing my entire movie collection both for safekeeping and for convenience. Now, I'm not talking about playing actual BluRay discs on a physical hardware BluRay player, I've got that covered. There are some addons and hacks etc, but it's just not good enough.
But, their BluRay support isn't quite there yet. VLC is pretty much the king for all audio, video and DVD.
