Joviwan sent me a PM asking about BD playback on a PC. I am pasting the text here to help others who at be interested.
I have a Blu-ray drive, indeed. I bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004SUO068/
For most of my playback (I mostly use my drive for screens), I use a combination of Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC-HC), AnyDVD, and BDinfo. The latter gets rid of the DRM on the discs to allow easy playback. BDInfo scans the disc and tells me which playlists contain the film. This is especially helpful for those discs with seamless branching, which is basically an authored disc that calls for certain additions to the film when it is needed. Take the BD release of Alien 3. It contains the theatrical cut and the special edition. Instead of having both cuts at their entrie run time onthe disc, totaling over four hours, it is authored to only call the deleted scenes into the special edition run time. The reason BDInfo works well for this is because there are a shitload of m2ts files containing the entire movie.
If you want 5.1 audio with MPC HC, you'll need to download AC3filter and set it up accordingly. Turn SPDIF on and choose your speaker configuration. I believe you must use HDMI to use this feature.
When AnyDVD HD doesn't have the encryption cracked for some BDs, I use VLC Media Player and choose to open a disc, navigate to BLu-ray, and choose "No Disc Menus". I hate VLC, however. It fucks up the coloring compared to MPC-HC. Here is a cap in VLC, and in MPC-HC.
Here are some images for you to demonstrate what I spoke of above.
