    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    Does the same issue occur if you try to play a regular DVD? If you still get the same ejecting scenario, it could be a hardware failure and you'd need to contact Acer for a replacement blu-ray drive. Also try cleaning the optical drive. A dirty lens can also act the same way.

    HI, I would have thought to play any BD disks you'd have to be in windows itself as AA itself won't have the correct decoders. BTW, you should all be up to version 2.1.6010, there are at least two updates that can be had from within AA...
