Play Blu-ray's on windows 8.1 HTPC
Any Suggestion on software to use with my HTPC build using a ASUS Blu-ray player.
If you want actual playback software, I highly recommend:
Arcsoft TotalMedia Theatre. I bought version 6 on sale for 50% off not that long ago. They have sales all the time. It's by far the best Blu-Ray playback software I've ever used. Some people will just say use VLC, but the compatibility is awful for VLC, with many many movies not supported.
If you want to rip them to your HDD to store and Stream as you desire, then I also recommend MakeMKV.
I do not recommend using @thekeemo's method unless you wish to permanently store the movie after ripping if. Ripping a movie just to watch it once and then delete it is a colossal waste of your time, and adds in many unnecessary steps. If all you want to do is pop the disc in the drive and watch the movie, then just buy good playback software such as TotalMedia.
I don't recommend Cyberlink myself, but it's not that bad. I just find TotalMedia is much better.
