    I just purchased the australia bd movie for watching on my laptop, it has Optiarc BD ROM BC-5500S ATA Device. but when i put the bd movie it doesn't read.

    I tried on my ps3 and it works. So i'm wondering if there is a difference between the blue rays and newers one?, probably i need a new driver or something like that.

    I tried with the windvd2010 to see if is the program, and it wont load.

    Thanks,

    With my HDX, there was an issue where some movies wouldn't work if you weren't using the official HP video driver.
