"I have a iMac desk top with Mac OS X (10.8) operating system and an external Blu-ray drive and i want to buy a Blu-ray Player Software for it. So the question is what Blu-ray software should I purchase and how could Iwatch Blu-ray on my iMac?" TheiMacis a range of all-in-one Macintosh desktop computers designed and built by Apple Inc, features an ultrathin all-in-one design, beautiful widescreen display, the
latest processors and graphics, and advanced storage options. The iMac has no built-in support for Blu-ray discs. Blu-ray players use a different type of laser than CDs and DVDs, and data is stored more compactly. The differences are internal, so placing a Blu-ray disc in your iMac will not damage the drive, but it also won't allow you to view your movie.
Despite a lack of Blu-ray drive and native blu-ray playback support, you can still play Blu-ray movies on iMac. Today, I would like to introduce a new way to play your Blu-ray on Macbook. And what you need is a kind of third-party software namedUFUSoftiMac Blu-ray Player Softwarewhich is specially designed for iMac.
How to Play Blu-ray Disc, Blu-ray ISO file, or BDMV folder on iMac by iMac Blu-ray Player software?
