Bluray Disc For Mac

Ray

Mac users usually complained that their Mac computer can't play Blu-ray discs. This is because Sony has license on Blu-ray while Apple does not own the license for Blu-ray playback. So, without the rights to the license, Apple can't support Blu-ray disc. Amazon. Filemaker pro 11 advanced torrent. com: blu ray drive for mac.

Its all well and good for Apple to decide to be in the future now, but here I sit with the Harry Potter Blue Ray discs in 2012, and my mac (17', 8Gigs of Ram, Mac Book Pro) wondering why such an expensive machine can't do such a simple function. Nothing prevents Apple from shipping blue ray drives with their mac while they're busy phasing out optical drives. One of the reasons I buy mac is so that I don't have to worry about this kind of crap. They are the 'it just works' company. Blue-ray DVD players come standard on most intel based laptops.

Downloader for mac. Apple likely has a snitch about royalties or some such. Regardless, they are losing points in my book on this one. Sorry, but that is a lame reply Zyriab - I know that Apple's plans are for all online downloads of everything, but since not everyone has great online speed at this point in time (millions in the US alone), this goal will be impossible for at least several years to come. Thus, while I have always considered them ahead of the curve on a lot of things, they missed the curve here with Blu Ray - it should be standard that all Macs after 2008-2009 play Blu Ray when they won the 'war' on media. It is not a good thing when Apple trys to dictate to everyone else just how ALL media should be, instead of looking around and seeing how real people live in the real world - and meeting the needs of their customers here and now - while still pushing ahead. I love Apple, but here and there they miss the mark - and here with Blu Ray HD, they really missed the target all together.

We live in an area where we have really fast cable modem service from Cox cable (at an outrageous price if you odn't bundle the phone and TV service with it) but at least it's fast. That is until you decide to stream a DVD in Blueray/high def or whatever. Then the 12 meg/second minimum speed seems like 128k dial-up from way back before most of you were born. I also know Apple is moving to an all digital download world. But UNTIL and UNLESS the internet's infastructure catches up - maybe not installing blue-ray compatible dirives in the newer macs is not such a great idea after all. Sadly, now the options are replace the superdrive in my iMac 27' and void the warranty in the process of course, then buy and install a blueray player software, then get them to talk to each other well enough to actually work.
