"Ok there has got to be some solution for a free windows 8 blu ray player. I tried to do the VLC solution but it crashes as soon as I try playing an encrypted blu-ray disk. I refuse to pay a dime to a blu-ray player software which is not free to get updates. Anyone have any suggestions on this? What do you use to play commercial (encrypted) Blu-ray discs in Windows 8 PC?"With the release of Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro, Microsoft made the decision to remove DVD playback, and forego the inclusion of Blu-ray playback. If you do want to play blu-ray movies on Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro, however, there is an very easy solution.
Before you move on to
play Blu-ray discs on your Windows 8 machine, you also need to take into account the hardware limitations that you might come across. Foremost, you need to have a Blu-ray drive in your PC, laptop or notebook that will take care of the hardware part. Traditionally, laptops and desktop computers don’t ship with a Blu-ray drive (unless you go for a high-end purchase), so you’ll probably need a separate drive for that.
