Hi Ambassador,

Sorry for my rather vague question, I had several tabs open and thought I was asking a question on the web site i was trying the software out from. Have now just Joined you good folks at iMore. I was trying the Aiseesoft blu ray player on my macbook pro. But can't get it to load the disc. The software hangs and becomes unresponsive. I've loaded normal DVD OK, Thinking if it's just not a great player, and to try something else instead

Thanks again

Having a short attention span, I gave up on Aiseesoft and downloaded the Aurora Blu ray player instead. Seems to be working OK, so will give a try instead. Thanks again for trying to help

I'm glad you found some software that works for you. . . . And by the way, welcome to iMore; it's very nice to have you as a member of the community.

Sometimes, the BR drive and BR disc also have problems. You'd better ask the support team of Mac Blu-ray Player for help.

BD playback is pretty buggy on OS X because Apple will not support it natively. This article by Macworld is a pretty good overview of the issues with Apple, OS X, and bluray playback. It also offers some software suggestions.

FWIW I use the OWC Slim BD Player and Macgo Blu-ray Player. Both work pretty good for me but I've gotten into buying all my media digitally over the past couple years so I don't use it that frequently, mostly just for BDs I borrow from my dad.
