How To Play Blu-ray On PC

A paradigm shift is taking place, whereby DVDs are being replaced by blu-ray discs as the preferred devices for storage and conveyance of multimedia content files (such as movie files). People have always had issues with DVDs, pertaining to things like storage capacity and the proneness of the DVDs to scratching. That is a scenario where people always wondered whether the storage capacity of DVDs couldn't be enhanced, and whether scratch-proof DVDs couldn't be produced.

It is in response to these needs that the geeks who help us with these sorts of things have developed blu-ray discs for us. The blu-ray discs have been described as being ‘greatly improved and enhanced' versions of DVDs.

And, as mentioned earlier, the trend is shifting in favor of the blu-ray discs: as more and more content developers opt to package their content in the (manifestly superior) blu-ray discs. Against that background, you may find yourself interested in knowing how to play blu-ray on PC. And that is the question we now venture to answer.
Steps to Play Blu-ray DVD on PC - As it turns out, there are a few steps you need to take, if you want to play blu-ray on PC. These includes:

The hardware compatibility checking step:

This is the most challenging step, because if your computer's system was only created to read ordinary DVDs, it unfortunately won't be able to read blu-ray discs. It is a seemingly unfair situation where systems capable of reading blu-ray discs are also able to read ordinary DVDs, but those designed only for DVDs aren't able to read blu-ray discs. But that is consistent with the general trend where technology tends to be downward compatible, but not upward compatible.
So, ultimately, you need to ensure that your computer's hardware is capable of reading blu-ray discs.

The software compatibility checking step:

You need certain software, to be able to play blu-ray discs. In most cases, if a given system is capable of reading blu-ray discs at the hardware level, it also tends to have the relevant software loaded. But there can be issues brought about by operating systems. That is where, for instance, the blu-ray player Windows users utilize turns out to be quite different from the blu-ray player Mac users utilize.

So, if you are switching from, say, a Linux operating system to Windows, you may find yourself having to identify the blu-ray player Windows users utilize, and then deploying it.

The blu-ray disc insertion step:

If you have ascertained that your system is capable of playing blu-ray discs at both the hardware and software levels, you can proceed to insert the blu-ray disc into the computer.

The blu-ray opening step:

Once you have inserted the blu-ray disc into the PC, the machine will detect it, and give you an indication that it has done so. The PC will probably treat it as a folder, and to play files from it, you will only need to click on them. In most cases, upon clicking on the files, the PC figures out the relevant applications to use in opening and reading (playing) them for you.
