    WinDVD as well...

    VLC won't support blueray as there is no open source encryption library to use the encryption...

    The only unofficial BluRay decrypter I know of is SlySoft's AnyDVD HD. Using that you might be able to use VLC (I haven't tested it, but they have a 30 day trial so you can test it).
