“Hey Guys, is there anything I can download so I can play my Bluray movies using Windows 8/7 Media Player? I’ve seen a few threads around here talking about using Windows Media Player to play Blu-Ray Discs on Windows 8 or 7. I am well aware of the whole Windows doesn’t support Blu Ray; thing and Cyberlink’s software (the stuff that came with my Blu Ray drive) doesn’t always work for me. I have trouble playing certain discs using it. How are you guys getting Media player to play these discs? Is there a plugin I can buy somewhere? Plus, how does one play ISO image files in WMP?”
