    Best low-cost Blu-ray Player

    Today I scored a HP CH20L BD-ROM/DVD+RW dl/lightscribe SATA drive for $20 locally... but of course, no software was in the box. FYI, I knew that before I bought it... as I got it more as a better lighscribe drive, not so much for the blu-ray per se.

    I know there is no legal free way to actually play blu ray... But I'm not flushed with cash either. So, what's the best low-cost (Say $60 or less) Playing software?

    PS- I don't need 3D support... my system runs windows 7 ultimate, with twin LCDs.

    if you were dumping it into your Linux box i could name a few, but i dont think they have windows ports.
    Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

    You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

    Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

      Will they do encrypted (commerical) BD's?

      if so, the thing is AFAIK 100% linux friendly... I run 7 on it due to it being twin LCD's and gnome shell not doing multi screens well (but I've since seen gnome tweak tool settings and dconf stuff that could fix it).

        Victrola multi-player - No audio
        by kokopelli75
        Hello!

        My mother has a Victrola Navigator player that stopped functioning after a storm. I checked out what I could - all player functions appear to work, but there is no audio output in either the speakers or the headphone jack. I suspect (with my limited knowledge) that the amplifier part of the device is toast. Photo of the suspected board is attached. There's separate boards for front display, record player, etc. This board has a section for power regulation and a section for amp. There's a UTC7266 7+7W dual bridge amplifier IC and a CSC2314F sound processor IC on the board. Visually,...

        LG BH6420P Home theather blue ray player repair
        by unimatrix93
        Hello everyone, I'm trying to troubleshoot this LG hometheater player.

        The customer forced her USB drive reversed into it's USB socket and since then the player won't work properly, only shows "Please wait" error forever on it's display.

        Now I started diagnosing the USB socket and the mainboard where it's connected.

        I found 20ohm resistance to ground on the 5V line of the USB.

        5V is missing and I found the buck converter of the USB line, TPS65252 IC.
        After measuring the pins I realized that both VIN and 3V3 is correctly present...

        Panasonic AG-1000B VHS player with bad picture quality
        by FZG
        Hello!

        I recently got an old VHS player from Panasonic and just for fun I want to try to repair this device. It is an AG-1000B portable VHS player from 1990 and it has a problem with picture quality in playback mode.

        Picture in playback mode is very noisy and often loses sync but the still images are nearly perfect.

        I want to know, is this something that could be solved by recapping or is the video head likely gone?

        Also, what mechanism is this?

        Any feedback is appreciated!...

        Help troubleshooting an audio problem with an RCA SGT-250 CED Player
        by samson7point1@yahoo.com
        The Problem: This player has a toggle switch to select between Stereo, Mono R, and Mono L. Regardless of the setting it outputs the sound to both the L&R audio jacks. In the Mono R position, the audio output level is normal (from both the L and R audio output jacks), in the Stereo position the audio output is about half the volume, and in Mono L, it's about 3/4 the volume. Something about putting it into Stereo mode is causing the volume to drop significantly and I can't figure it out.

        The player processes the audio signal using two different reference frequencies. The "R"...
