I have an external blu-ray drive as well. It does not work with Mac OS X, I have researched back and fourth with no luck. What you have to do you boot into Windows, install PowerDVD (blu-ray compatible version) and watch your blu-ray movies through the Windows OS.

You're assuming that he has Windows installed. :p
 
in my i7 I replaced my stock superdrive with a Panasonic/Matsushita BluRay.

it's a one for one replacement, there was minor fitment issues, but I figured how to get it to fit.

the osx native support for bluray is lame. when I insert a Bluray disc is says BD open it works but it don't play for jack.

I guess I might have to try the make mkv.
 
Rather than boot natively into Windows,
or,
Use an "emulator" such as Parallels,

.... would it be possible to play a BluRay disc on the Mac using "Crossover"?

Anyone tried it?
 
Thanks for all the help guys. I am probably going to buy a Blue-ray Player once Apple releases Drivers for it or Someone makes a simple work around thanks again
 
last but not least, it's blu-ray. there's no "e" in it.

thanks for acknowledging this and never spelling it with an "e" again.
 
Plug in your Blu-Ray drive, insert the disk, open (MakeMKV), Rip your Blu-Ray!
Have a coffe!
Then watch using PLEX Player! Sorted!

lmao.
This is a SIMPLE workaround!
Play it back under OS X. All you have to do is install Make MKV, then use its built-in server to send the Blu-ray disc to VLC or MPlayer Extended. There's no need for Windows to watch Blu-ray movies on your Mac.
