[QUOTE="finrudd341, post: 642890, member: 68408"] I could be wrong, but I don't think the player itself is of that much importance. You might want to be able to slow it down, to reduce noise, but mostly it's the PC behind it that's important, and the software you use. So, a couple of things to think about: 1. Is your processor up to Bluray plackback - check online for the minimum specs for this 2. Is your GPU up to it? 3. What O/S are you running - Windows XP doesn't like Bluray, although there are workarounds Lastly, Moving Pictures has a feature to launch an external application when a disc is inserted. which would in theory run the bluray player that will probably come bundled with your drive - I have not tried this, as I am using XP still. Personally, I bought a cheap (50 quid) OEM Bluray drive, as I only use it for ripping discs to HDD rather than playing them directly. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
