Asus Black 12X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-Ray Drive (BC-12B1ST)
Hi all,
I just bought the blu-ray player mentioned above and not sure if I like it. The first one I had to send back because it stopped reading dvds and blu-rays. I have received the new one and it seems to be working OK so far.
My questions are:
Is this the best choice out there? It did not come with software to play blu-ray movies, I have set up VLC to play them but it uses 98% of the CPU. I have a AMD duel core processor with 2GB RAM. I guess what I would like to know is VLC blu-ray codec not that efficient or is my computer not powerful enough to decode blu-ray movies? DVDs play fine.
I can still return it for a full refund so If someone has had better luck with a different player please let me know.
Thanks,
E
