can video software make a difference?

[frtl97]

i recently purchased a new blue ray player and loaded the software that acme with it,
in some areas the picture was what i expected. i downloaded thier upgraded software
and used the same movie as my test , the picture was much improved and the areas
that had a bad picture now were flawless, can the software make that much difference?

Sure. The software is the actual player, the drive is just that, a drive. It sends the raw data to the software player for decoding.

so the software that comes with the player is the bait to get you to buy the correct software?

It is correct, just usually a crippled version that only has 2-channel audio, and often an older edition.
