Default Blu-ray but without the blu-ray
My parents bought a computer with a blu-ray drive a while back, and just now finally got around to actually trying to play a blu-ray disk in it. The drive itself seems to work just fine, I can find the movie (pirates of the carribean) in Computer, but when I tried to run it I found out that their computer doesn't actually have the right software for blu-ray. It can read the disc just fine, but when trying to watch the movie, I find that none of the media players they have come with the right codecs to make the sound work.

Anybody know how to fix this?

Default MS has yet to pay to include it in their OS/WMP.
The manufacturer of your computer or the Blu-Ray drive should have provided software capable of using the proprietary codecs for Blu-Ray viewing.

If you do not have anything currently installed for it, look at any installation media that came with the computer OR check the manufacturer's website.


e: Wait a sec.
The sound is not working, but the video itself is?
Is the sound working for other formats / media?

You could also install a codec pack with .MKV format support, that should be enough to get you going. Does their pc by any chance has KLite Codec Pack installed? Get the full version (i think it's like 25mb) and it should work just fine

The blu-ray drive was an optional feature the computer had, so Im guessing the lazy-asses who put it together just didn't bother to put the proper software on there. When trying to watch blu-ray movies, the video would work fine but a warning box would pop up saying I was missing audio codecs, and the audio would not work. Tried looking for codec packs via google, but I haven't really found anything that doesn't look extremely shady.

@Pip: Some of those codecs DO look really shady, but they are legit. I'm not in a position to google/link you, but I'm sure if you poke Bells, he'll find and PM you a safe version of the Klite pack, or the Complete Codec Pack.

Posting a link for the Kazaa Codec Pack page is against the forum rules??

No worries, I found the codecs at a legitimate retail establishment. I'm not 100% learned about how codecs and shit work. With these installed, will I need to use a particular media player to use them?

EDIT: Looks like the K-lite pack has it working. Thanks guys!

Default Maybe I should get a Blu-Ray drive so I can know this.
I apologize -- I had misinterpreted. I had thought that Blu-Ray overall was not working and didn't pay appropriate attention to the detail about the sound being an issue. As such I didn't figure the codec packs floatin' around for all the fun video formats we have were the correct answer and was thinking it was an issue with the Blu-Ray format not being read. Thanks to others being more aware and helpful.
