Playing Blu-ray movies w/o a Blu-ray player

Thanks to Zevia, I used his guide (BD2DVD: Blu-ray to DVD guide http://club.cdfreaks.com/f142/bd2dvd...-guide-232165/) to rip a Blu-ray movie (Pearl Harbor) to a standard DVDR then I played it on my other computer (standard DVD drive using power DVD). If your video card supports it, you can plug your computer to your 50" HDTV and watch Blu-ray movies without needing a Blu-ray player

Re: Playing Blu-ray movies w/o a Blu-ray player

You're welcome nick714.

Some drawbacks playing hidef movies from PC with that method:
- you will need 3-6 DVDs for each movie
- you can't get high definition audio
- you won't be able to "use" your PC while playing the movie.

Re: Playing Blu-ray movies w/o a Blu-ray player

I see no sense in such "down conversions".
What is the IDEA behind because you still need a BD drive to rip????!?!!?

just my 2 cents
