Along with the laptop I purchased 6 months ago came a copy of WinDVD 8 which is supposed to be Blu-ray compatible. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for all but the earliest Blu-ray discs. This is a problem. I looked for a patch, but there doesn't seem to be one for the standard (not Gold or Platinum editions) edition. So, what should I do?
I know there's currently no free Blu-ray player software. However, I really don't wanna shell out $50-100 bucks for some program. What's the chances of a free player emerging in the next half year or so? Generally, I use VLC, and it can read the individual files if used in conjunction with AllDVD, but that doesn't really work that well.
