Media Player Classic

Media Player classic will play Blu-Ray and it's free. The only issue I can see is if your USP Sony player can supply the bandwidth needed. If not then rip it and play the movie from your hard drive as is. Another concern is whether or not all your components are HDCP ready.

1.Download Media Player Classic and give it try and download any additional files requested by the application. Get it here.

Here if the link coughs.

2.If it looks as though things are playing but you see no picture then you could have a device that is preventing it such as a monitor or graphics card. To determine if this is the case download a trial version of AnyDVD HD and it will remove HDCP for the length of the trial. Then of course you will have to make a decision as to whether to replace the offending non HDCP compliant hard ware or purchase AnyDVD.

If needed go here and download AnyDVD.
