BD & HD DVD Software Playback?

[Eric69]

Hi Folks

Can some here give me a run down of available software players that will work with builds from BD or HD DVD.

1) PowerDVD Ultra
2) Nero Showtime with Blu-Ray/HD DVD plugin
3) WinDVD BD/HD (Japanese version)
4) Arcsoft (Japanese version now, US version later this month)

Hi ronmiller et al,

do you have to buy the plugin for Nero 8 ?

Media player classic has worked for me.

Will any of these play an image or do I have to burn a disc first. I'm looking for a way to test my builds before I waste $15 :)

Create an .ISO containing the BD folders and mount it with Daemon Tools.
