The first app I tested on my iMac is Macgo Mac Blu-ray Player, which is known as the first Blu-ray player software for Mac OS X. I chose TAKEN 3 as the first disc because it was produced this year.

I had a quick question for anyone who may be able to help. I just got (a Sony BDP-S300 for the lazy) today for a Christmas gift and I was wondering how the PS3 compared to it just as a Blu-Ray player. My dad thought about getting me a PS3 but a few salesmen talked him out of it because they said it wasn't as good as Blu-Ray player as the standalone players. From what I understand it's as good as most Blu-Ray players and also has the ability to be more easily updated compared to other players, giving it more flexibility if any situations ever arise. One of the main gripes the salesmen had with the PS3 was that it wouldn't play Dual Layer Blu-Ray movies, which I never heard of that being a problem. The added benefit of the PS3 being a console is nice, but not completely important because I already have a 360 and a Wii. Also, I'd like to know how well the PS3 upscales standard DVDs.

Office for mac the image part with relationship id rid2 was not found in the file. This thread is not intended to put Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD or PS3 vs. 360 as I know many of the previous threads have done. I'm just interested in how the PS3 stands as a Blu-Ray player compared to other ones on the market. Thanks in advance for all the help.

The PS3 is a fine Blu-Ray player and will always be checked for compatibility as it will probably be the most prolific Blu-Ray player on the market. Also the firmware gets updated frequently (though I expect it to stabilize). For example I think there was just a 2.0 firmware update that allows for BD 1.1 interactivity. The only reason I would consider getting a stand-alone Blu Ray player is for 6 channel analog out, which the PS3 doesn't provide.

Client software for mac flir. So when you have a Blu-Ray player with Dolby True HD or DTS Lossless Master Audio you can't enjoy it with a PS3 (unless you have an HDMI receiver). I wish they would at least downmix it to 1.44 mbps DTS like the XBox 360 does -- the best you can get over SPDIF. The other complaint would be the amount of heat the player generates. But it's a fine Blu-Ray player. And you gotta buy the Blu-Ray remote. Click to expand.I'm a little out of the loop with that.

Does that mean it won't play the DVD at all, or you just don't get the full quality audio that you should? Also, is there a chance that could be added in a future firmware update or is something that is dependent on hardware and not software? Also, I haven't seen anything about the ability to play double layer Blu-Ray movies.

I'm guessing that it is able to but the salesmen told my dad that it wouldn't be able to. Anyone have any information on this? Thanks again.
