I have Quicktime Pro Player v7.7 running on Windows 7. Can I use QT to play blu-ray disks? (My system does have a blu-ray capable drive.) ..Bill..

No, QuickTime Player will play neither Blu-Ray nor DVD disks. You'll need to purchase a Blu-Ray player application for your system. I believe WinDVD will handle Blu-Ray.

Thanks very much Dave! That makes sense of my Google results. (I did find one site that advertised QT as the best blu-ray player, but I now believe that to be bogus!)
WinDVD looked great, I liked that it was a Corel product, so I downloaded and installed it. However for some reason I couldn't sort out, when I tried to run the shortcut or even the .exe file in its installed directory, nothing happened. I even tried running it as admin--nothing. So I gave up on it.
I found a product called PowerDVD. It's about the same price and works really well.
Thanks again!
Glad you found an application that works, and thanks for posting back. I'm always happy to know about alternatives.
Regards.
