As a matter of fact that Mac computers fail to ship with Blu-ray drive and regular DVD drive can not play Blu-ray Disc, so if you want to play Blu-ray movies on a Mac computer, some widgets are necessary.
First, you need an external Blu-ray drive to make it work, which you can get from Amazon or somewhere else.
Then there are two ways you can go: the paid way, or the free way. For the first one, you just need to pay for a software and it is nice and simple to run the software and play Blu-ray movies, while the second way will take a bit longer and there are a lot more steps involved to watch a Blu-ray movie. Let’s talk about them one by one.
The paid way I talked about earlier is that you can download a Blu-ray player for your Mac. After a quick google search, I came across this software called Macgo Blu-ray Player. Right now it is only $39.95 which is a pretty nice price. Compared to other way more expensive Blu-ray players, this is a really good deal. Now I will show you how to play a Blu-ray disc on a Mac computer. You can directly get this Blu-ray Player software from its official website: http://www.macblurayplayer.com.
If you did have a Blu-ray disc in your computer or in your drive currently, just open the software and go to the title menu to play the Blu-ray the movie directly. You can select the standard features of a media player and there is a “Share” button at the bottom by which you can directly share information to Facebook or Twitter from the software. By the way this software is normally a Blu-ray player but it can play pretty much any type of media files, so it is very versatile.
Then let’s talk about the free way. There are two softwares involved here, MKV player and VLC. Because their operation process is too complicated and sometimes the two of them jsut fail to work, I will not list the details here, and you can just see the detail process by watching the video below.
