Blu-Ray Playback (Preferably open source)

[neonardo]

Hey guys,

Got a new laptop on the way with a blu-ray drive and I need some software to play them in. I have done some quick google searches without much success.

I curently use VLC, but it does not appear to have native support for blu-ray, and the free blu-ray library for it does not support playing commercial discs that I'm aware of?

What do you guys like?

To get playback, you'll either need a commercial app or a program that can disable the DRM on the disk such as Slysoft AnyDVD-HD.

I use TotalMedia Theater 3 for Blu-Ray playback on my rig and don't have any complaints.

There is no open source software that will fully handle all aspects of Blu-ray playback.

The best thing on the horizon is the Slysoft player (which will be free but not open source), but be warned, you'll be waiting a long time.
