I recently purchased a blu-ray drive for my computer (this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135252) drive, to be specific), and I was displeased to learn that it could not play blu-ray discs without special software.
Therefore, can anyone here recommend software for me to use with the drive? I seek software that is fairly intuitive to use, does not consume great amounts of system resources (either disk capacity or memory), and, most importantly, is free, or at least very inexpensive and has only a one-time fee, not a continues fee for its usage. Thank you very much.
As a side note, why will blu-ray drives not play blu-ray discs without special software? That seems to be a major mistake to me, since video game consoles can play blu-ray discs without any upgrades or additional software, and all optical drives can play regular DVD's without any additional software. What insight can anyone here offer on that subject?
