Nowadays, Blu-ray is becoming more and more popular for its large storage and excellent quality. Practically, any modern PC (Computer or Laptop) is capable of playing DVD movies, but condition is not the same as Blu-ray movies. So how to play Blu-ray on PC just like on Blu-ray DVD player? You may need either the Blu-ray player software or a Blu-ray converter to convert the movies to PC.Next, I would like to show you the details to enjoy Blu-ray movies on your laptop or computer.

Hardware Requirements:
OS: Microsoft® Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8
Processor: 1 GHz or above Intel/AMD Processor

You can also try out the BD&3D Advisor provided by Cyberlink to diagnose your computer whether it's available to play Blu-ray on your PC. However, it's not so accurate. But most of the laptops can satisfied the requirements.

When you have a powerful enough computer, then all you need is to install Blu-ray player software to directly play Blu-ray movies on your PC.

Method 2:Copy Blu-ray Movies to Your PC Friendly Video Formats

If you don’t like the first way or you don’t want to purchase an external Blu-ray drive since your PC has no Blu-ray drives, you can just try to copy the Blu-ray Movies to PC friendly video formats for playback.

Of course, you need a third-party program to help you copy the Blu-ray movies as Blu-ray disc is DRM protected just like DVD. And Here I strongly recommended Leawo Blu-ray Ripper which is at the moment one of the top Blu-ray Ripping programs from the according to best-tablet-converter.com. The main reason that I want you to try this good program is it comes with the popular feature to convert 2D to 3D for users to enjoy the popular 3D effect. 3D Blu-ray Movie enjoyment, really amazing, isn't it? The program can support over 100 common video formats so you don’t need to worried if it can convert to your PC friendly video formats.
