    Forgive me is this has been posted elsewhere...couldn't find anything via search/google.

    Is anyone aware if AI TouchMedia is compatible with Blu-Ray? I notice the BD settings within it, yet anytime I put a blu-ray movie in I get an AVCRECDEVICENOTSUPPORT error. Kind of concerned. I got the player off eBay, and I remember reading somewhere that AVCRec is like a sub-variant of Blu-Ray...or something. I dunno. Haha.

    Thanks.

    AI TM is developed by Cyberlink, and they know well enough about BD compatibility. Their software is about the only one that works with most BD players. It has nothing to do with your problem.

    AVCREC is an official Blu-Ray variant with lower capacity. However, as of last year, it was slated only for Japanese use, and at this point there's no indication it's been approved for other regions, which is the likely cause of your problem. OOPS.... Sorry dude.

    You can read a little about it here: Mitsubishi's AVCREC Blu-ray recorders

    Remember on Ebay, "Caveat Emptor".

    Well, if that was the case, would I be able to explore the contents of the blu-ray disc? (Via Windows Explorer). I can go in, it even recognizes the name of the movie when I put it in the drive. It just wont play it. =\
