Tina1234 0 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I updated to Windows 8 last week, unfortunately to find that DVD is not playing any more. I am looking for a Blu-ray player, at the same time it should be a DVD player. Is that possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaefurr 1337 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The DVD playback isn't gone in Windows 8, it just got moved into the media center pack which you have to purchase separately now. If you're just looking for another program to play blurays and DVDs, powerDVD is probably the most popular though its around $50 to purchase. You can also try VLC, is plays DVDs perfectly, but you'll need some extra addons to get blurays working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the new version of MPC-HC with all the codecs included. Here is the original link to get updates. http://haruhichan.com/forum/showthread.php?7545-KCP-Kawaii-Codec-Pack&p=38585&viewfull=1#post38585 I'm only guessing it's W8 compatible.

SaraJoshion 0 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 You can download VLC, but you also need to download some codecs to play blu-ray. If you don't mind to pay for it, install MacGo Windows blu-ray player, which can do blu-ray playback on Windows 8. http://download.cnet.com/Macgo-Windows-Blu-ray-Player/3000-13632_4-75453680.html Download free here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
