you must have software to play blu-ray discs, i recommend cyberlink PowerDVD or you can download the VLC player its free, you must dowload the libbluray libraries to get vlc play Bluray.

I don't have any Blu-Ray discs and cannot find any reference whether or not this computer will play them. I assume that it does not.

If the ad says OEM then it will not come with software. media player software with bluray support can be costly. Make sure it list software in the details.

you need software to play blu rays , play back software is about $100.The answer is yes but you'll have to buy additional software .This is the case no matter what player you buy

No you cannot because the bluray only has video outputs not inputs. You have an audio input option using digital but that's about it. What exactly are you trying to accomplish ??

Yes, but you must have the software that will do it...VLC media player is free and will play blu rays

Where did you get the firmware 2.5 ? My BD-P1500 is having problems reading new bluray discs.

Yes but you will also need a software like CyberLink PowerDVD to play the Blu-ray movies, which is not included with this purchase, this is only the hardware to read the Blu-ray disk you still need the software to play them. I have had mine for a while now and I love it and I have had NO issues at all with it.

This player does have a Blu ray player and writer on it. If it is not doing so you may have the connection hookup incorrect. Also you must have a mother board and good enough graphics card to use the writer portion.

Not sure since I did not use it for this reason. I imagine your BluRay player has to have the capability to support an internet connection (i.e. integrated software, interface, etc.)

Alright, thanks for answering! I think I'll have to get a hdmi to vga converter to at least have the picture in HD then buy a bluray player later on.

Yes, you will need additional software to play the Blu-Ray format. Google Mac Blu-Ray player and you will find both paid and free software for doing so.

For Mac you need to buy blu-Ray player software. Not sure if Windows build in player will play it the blu-ray disks. May be you need to buy the same application for Windows as well :-)...

you should be able to play the disk through whatever your default media player is, ive tried VLC and MCP-HC and both have worked, I honestly have never used or seen said included software, id suggest looking at the setup guide it comes with to see if it's being detected properly

As long you have the correct codecs for your OS, it should play. It has nothing to do with the dvd or blu ray drive, rather the player (software apps) playing the VLC files.

No because is a bluray player. You can use it out of the box. Any driver you need it'll install automatically as long as you are on line. Hope this helps you.
