does anybody know if rented blu ray films will play in a PC with a Blu Ray drive. i.e. there is no copy protection on them that would prevent this.

Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -
You may need to upgrade the firmware on the drive, periodically my LG drive asks me to update otherwise it won't be able to play the latest Bluray discs.
Other than that, they will play fine.

Normally that's a non-issue but recently Sony stuffed up a firmware update that caused a few problems, so I'm now reluctant to do updates blindly. Same goes for Windows update, only mugs would have it switched to fully automated.
On the plus side, at least the firmware can be updated to cope with the evolving blu-ray standard and feature set.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

You should be ok on on PC, if it's a standalone player (ps3 etc...) then that's where you'll have the problems.
I have a media centre and rent b-r from lovefilm with no problems.Comment

Why is that then? Most bluray players have the ability to update firmware, the PS3 for example.Originally posted by norrahe View PostScience isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
