Use VLC to play bluray on pc

Follow these instructions.

http://windows7themes.net/playing-blu-ray-on-windows-7-or-8-yes-vlc-can-play-bds.html

1. Download and install VLC (I have 2.1.2 and it worked)
2. Open the Windows Explorer using Windows key + E on your keyboard. Then enter %appdata%
3. The explorer should jump directly to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming – right-click into the blank white area and create a new folder and rename "aacs"
4. Head over to http://vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name/ and download the two files and place them where told.
5. I had to go to  vlc/tools/preferences/codecs/Skip H.264 in-loop deblocking filter = all to to stop the jerky playback.

This played Acts of Valor without a hitch but would not play Despicable Me 2 so latest protection not covered.

After the mess I made in previous posts this summary might be useful.     Thanks PatchMyPC, the great and powerful program downloader and up...
