I just read a review on this device...hard to believe they don't mention
it won't play a BD without paying extra to do so. Are you sure you
looked carefully at the software on there? It may not be obvious what
plays BD. Corel has a version of WinDVD that plays BDs...even Nero has a
program that plays BDs but they seem to hide that fact..and it won't pop
up if you load in a BD.
Get MakeMKV and rip the BD to MKV and using Windows Home Cinema to play
it. Pull off a sound format this PC can handle.

hey, my revo rl100 that I got from newegg a few months ago has been pretty good.
However, I got my first BD disc for xmas and went to play it and it wouldn't
play. It has a BD drive but after much searching and acer support calls, I was
able to detirmine that it needed a codec/decoder? to play the disc. Acer doesn't
do that, lame imo. So after more searching I located dvdfab's passkey& passkey
lite.This allows me to use the Acer supplied player and watch BD's. However the
lite version has limits and the pay version is 40USD. Not going to lie here,
ptretty upset that I have to buy stuff to play BD's on a unit that claimed to
play BD's. So, does anyone have a suggestion for a free BD solution so I can
play BD's without laying out more cash?
