    I thought it was possible, but Windows Media Player is saying that "The disk was created in a way that the Player does not support" also VLC fails to play it.

    Just FYI your post is oddly written.

    You just said how do you play a Bluray (disc) on a computer without a Bluray drive (hardware).

    I thought the point of a Bluray Disc was that it needed the blue laser to be able to read it? Or were you actually asking something else?

    He has a dv6...it more than likely has a blu-ray drive. My guess is the OP was referring to software.

    Sorry it was 1am and I was tired :p
    I meant a file on my computer but not having a optical drive + software to be able to read the file.
    PowerDVD was able to play the .iso Bluray file perfect, obviously not at what a bluray player could, but the quality was still incredible at 1080p.
