Installation on my Win 8.1 64 bit computer did not work. The software says succesfully installed, but it is nowhere on my computer. I wonder if my other bluray players conflict with its installation?

@ #29 Do u have Norton AntiVirus. See my post #37 & 38.

It did claim that it was activated though. So that's probably what happened to #29 as well. Before Norton informed me, my install went the same as what happened to #29.

DID NOT INSTALL! Norton deleted the temp files claiming it was performing suspicious activity.

@ #7. Re: DA Player, When u try to DL it the link instead takes u to another prog's page Air Platit. A streaming player. I've been trying to get DA player back n can't seem to. (Prepositions!!!)
My laptop was fried by lighting so I've been trying to get back my progs.

-Only choppy when playing from folder

Does this product use graphic acceleration?-Playback seems a little choppy.

Thanks so much for your inquiry. As for your case, you can download fRom our official website: http://www.macblurayplayer.com/windows-bluray-player.htm, then refer to the registration code in the readme.txt file after unziping the package downloadeded from GOTD.
Please help to follow the instructions carefully to activate the software.

By the way, even if you do NOT have a blu ray drive, you can still use this. That's because it will also play blu ray FILES. So, for example, if you have files stored on a flash or hard drive, this will work great. Definitely a keeper!

@ MIKE : As always your comments and explanations on video and other multi-media software are very helpful. I keep copies of your input as a mini how-to guide. Thanks Ernie Bell

to Magco: Further to my comment #28, the installer(?) is still preventing installation of the program (on my Win7 and Win8 computers). Yet the trial exe download from your website installs with no problems. Any chance of your providing a registration code to un-trial that version?

Will not install on Win7 64. Getting a NSIS Error, downloaded the file a couple of times and shut off the firewall during install and still no good.

To bad as it seems like one that most everyone is happy with the way it works.

@Macgo Software:
Thanks for your answer #18 to my question #9.
I've successfully installed it on Windows 8.1 without any problems.

Thanks, downloaded earlier.
1. Would be real nice if it had a HELP file.
2. Also, an option to select which files and DVDs to play as default player.
3. Would be nice to know exactly what kinds of files and disks it can play.
Hopefully you will add these options.
Will future updates be free, or an update will void the permanent license?
It works great, excellent video and audio.
Thanks for the program,
Eldad

just tried on the hubs pc...and it still doesnt work

Macgo blue ray player...it implies that it works with all windows systems...I have Windows 7, I put a blue ray disc in...didnt work...nothing...nada..

Would not install on Win 7 x64. The installer starts, then alerts that program is activated but the program itself did not install.

Installs fine on my XP computer But on both my Win7 and 8 computers I get an NSIS Error and it will not install. This happens fairly often, that a GOTD download fails some installer check in win7 and 8, but installs fine in XP. Any idea what the problem is? Thanks.

Wow, today's offer seems to be popular - even it's still a bit buggy and even seems to be a down graded version of the "Mac thing". Since it won't be possible to update this version to fit the development, I'll stick to FreeSmith's Video Player bein' updated for free. This is the best freeware player since VLC's best days. Btw...just one little issue : Why give a fellow user lots of thumbs down for asking a simple question. Come on, you guys are much better than that. Greets from Denmark and Happy Hollydays ;-)

If it helps...

When you want to watch non-free video, e.g. Netflix or Amazon or retail video DVDs & Blu-Ray etc. you have to deal with DRM. With video DVDs & Blu-Ray, the organizations behind each would like anyone making players to pay them a license fee, & in return they get access to at least some of what they need to work with the DRM -- I believe some of the protections that may be used require their own licensing fees. That's one reason why stand-alone Blu-Ray players, while they've come down in price, still aren't cheap.

Retail video Blu-Ray discs also use Java -- it controls how the discs work in players, makes the menus & many special features work, and often includes separate DRM. However video Blu-Ray discs do not have to include Java -- any video Blu-Rays you create will use something similar to what you find on DVDs instead [some of the software used for Java menus & such on Blu-Ray video discs cost more than a cheap car].

If software can successfully bypass the DRM, the Java portions may or may not work. Some players or decrypting apps [e.g. AnyDVD HD] can try to show you simplified menus rather than those using Java. For that Java to work it often has to be burned to a BD disc or the disc's ISO mounted in a virtual drive, because it's written to work off a disc in a drive [on a PC with its own drive letter], & not in a folder on some HDD.

That said, if you want to play most retail video Blu-Ray discs on you PC *the same as a stand-alone player*, buy something like PowerDVD Ultimate -- they seem to have lowered the price to around $100. Nero Ultimate includes a licensed Blu-Ray player, but MSRP is $100+ I believe. There are other retail players, e.g. Corel's WinDVD, but I haven't had much success with them on my system, but then I've got a lot of other video stuff that may be incompatible with them. I have older versions of PowerDVD, Nero, & a Roxio player that will not play the latest video Blu-Rays because they are no longer updated to handle new DRM -- you can't just buy one of those & expect it to play every disc you'll ever rent or buy forever.

Players like Macgo Windows Blu-Ray player [or similar from other companies] are often available with lifetime licenses, & when that's available that's a plus. There is a [usually small] gamble that because most don't pay the licensing fees so they can keep costs lower, they will not play every disc, at least right away when it 1st comes out... I watch videohelp.com for daily software updates, & notice that when decrypters are updated they frequently cite new DRM protections, so it's fair to assume there's a bit of cat & mouse going on, where it takes awhile before new DRM is mastered.

Most of these players are based on XNMC [XBMC.org]
"XBMC Media Center is an award-winning free and open source cross-platform software media player and entertainment hub for digital media for HTPCs (Home theater PCs). It uses a 10-foot user interface designed to be a media player for the living-room, using a remote control as the primary input device. Its graphical user interface (GUI) allows the user to easily browse and view videos, photos, podcasts, and music from a harddrive, optical disc, local network, and the internet using only a few buttons. The XBMC project is managed by the non-profit XBMC Foundation, and developed by volunteers located around the world. Since its creation in 2003 more than 60 software developers have contributed to XBMC, and 100-plus translators have worked to expand its reach, making it available in more than 60 languages. "
.
That's not a bad thing since smaller companies could not rival the work put into XBMC, & XBMC itself cannot handle the decryption end of things. However that also means that these players share any & all of XBMC's maybe weaknesses, such as not having working Blu-Ray video Java menus, or 3d Video Blu-Ray support. If you want to know more about what one of these players can/can't do, Google your question for XBMC, e.g. XBMC 3D Blu-Ray.

How does player X compare to player Y if they're both based on XBMC? It's not that different from the many converters based on ffmpeg, where in theory they're all the same thing but some perform better, & people like some brands better. A big part of it is individual tastes, regarding the GUI & the way things work -- another big part is how it performs on *Your* machine(s). And finally, is it a company that's going to be around to provide support in the future? Most phone home for directions on managing specific DRM. Macgo's site says they've been at this 10 years.

I downloaded it but when I read their reply to #4 (See #5) I decided not to install it.
The thing I especially like about DAUM Player is the amount of functions. I can hit 8 to make the screen taller or 2 to make it shorter. I can sync the audio, etc.
If a blu-ray player just has "Play" and "Stop" it aint worth much to me.

Thank you for your inquiry. Our software support HD DVD, and you can have a try.

Macgo Reply for #14
Thank you for your comment. We will improve our DVD Menu after Blu-ray Menu version release.

Disregard my previous comment, I just notice that it has a rating of 11% thumbs down.

This is the best media player I've ever used. How this fabulous piece of software has 79% thumbs down is beyond my range of understanding. There seems to be a lot of ungrateful people within this comment section.

As to the Blu-ray Player for PC, everyone knows PowerDVD, and we have obtained the Blu-ray licensee from Blu-ray organization. Additional, we have a great advantage on price as legal software. We also develop the first Blu-ray Player for Mac.

Installed fine on a Win 7 64-bit system.
Ran it on a BD disc and selected English subtitles from the main screen menu.
Bug: It showed director's comments, and not the dialog as I expected; obviously it was the alternate English. There should be a way to select.
Feature bug: There was no control to turn off the subtitles once the movie started running.

Our software is provided free, and will be fully functional for an indefinite period if installed before 08:00BST on 9/6/2014, and it will not be activated after the giveaway is over.
Upgrade and support are unavailable for this giveaway version, and GOTD users can enjoy 50% discount coupon 50CPGOTD, any purchase users will be enjoy free upgrade for Blu-ray Menu version.

I have a box full of HD DVDs the format that lost the HD wars with BluRay. I have a HD DVD player in my computer. Can this software play HD DVDs?

seems to be buggy on video file playback...particularly on hi definition video files. I know the files aren't corrupted, they play perfectly on the recent zoom player giveaway...but when i play mkv files on this, every couple of minutes, the video freezes, gets extremely artifacted and the audio stutters. it's not my hardware, I have a fairly high end gaming machine with nVidia PCI express video card with 2 gig VRAM. Running win 8.1 pro on AMD dual core processor, both cores at 2 GHZ and 4 gig onboard memory. and there were times during my blu ray test that the video would have a slow frame rate and the audio would slip out of sync for a minute. Darn it, I STILL need a good windows BR playing software

To #9: Correct answer - your nr.1

I would like to try this out, but the lack of a DVD menu system is a deal breaker for me.

Thanks

Installed fine on XP-PRO-SP3, looks good, thank you very much!

I LOVE the Win98 Windows Media Player look & feel - it is as MS should have done in the first place - GREAT JOB!!! Being able to use the mouse is a thousand times better than keyboard. Thumbs up so far. Put in 6 different ages of BluRay & all seem to work fine - will work it out later.

My first thought was that is this any better than the Leawo Blu Ray player software? I have to say, since I have been visiting GAOTD, I have never seen such a small amount of negative votes.

what email address do you put into it??

Installed it easily, and it works great.
It seems simple to use, and the lack of fully detailed menu structures isn't a problem for me.

One question regarding the blurb above:
"Price: The program is available for $59.95, but it will be free for our visitors as a time-limited offer. "
Does this mean:-
a)This software is provided free, and will will be fully functional for an indefinite period if installed before 08:00BST on 9/6/2014 or
b)This software is provided free, but will only work for a time-limited period as an evaluation copy.

I'd like to know.

@Macgo Software:

Are there any shortcomings with DRM/ encrypted disks?

Macgo Windows Blu-ray Player ==> 60 BUCKS and not updatable for FREE!

DAP PLAYER ==> FREE and always updatable for FREE!

Just to say!!

For playing Blu-Ray discs without DRM, Macgo Windows Blu-ray Player is a good choice for its outstanding Blu-ray playback capacity.

Blu-ray menu Message from Macgo Software:
@4-JackS: Thanks so much for your interest in our software.

Referring to your issue about Blu-ray menu function, I'm sorry to tell you that this function is only available on Mac version at the present time. We will release it on Win version once Blu-ray menu function is more stable and reliable on Mac.

If you are interested on it, you can have a try on Macgo Mac version.

not sure if i'd pay 50 bucks for this....works fine, excellent video/audio quality playback. simple controls. the downside is, i don't see the disk menus anywhere. just a basic "play video/chapters/etcetera etcetera" control. if anyone knows how to get disk menus, tell me how. thanks

I only used this one to play a BD, i'm using it on my PC and Blu-ray movies watches not bad. The audio's nice, too. It plays Blu-ray ISO files, that is good for me.
