I just bought an Asus Blu-Ray Combo external drive for my Macbook Air, and I am having some trouble playing blu-rays. Can anyone recommend the BEST software for playing blu-ray/dvd's on the Macbook Air? I await your response patiently. :)

I actually returned the drive today. It turns out that the Asus Blue Ray Combo drive, although it advertises for Macs on the box, only comes with software to support play of Blu-Ray on Windows (PC). I was only able to access cd-roms and regular dvds-- and that was only with one of the two USB cables plugged in (there aren't two continuous USB ports on the Macbook Air) so there wouldn't even be enough power generated to play the blu-rays, assuming it WOULD actually play them (which it didn't). So, thanks for the advice, but apparently this blu-ray player doesn't even work with Macs, and needs to be advertised as such on the packaging, that way employees of places like MicroCenter, etc. won't suggest it to patrons. I bought a Mac USB Superdrive instead, which doesn't play blu-rays either, but at least has the look and feel of a mac product (and was $10 cheaper at $80). I look forward to the day they make an external blu-ray player for macs.

Best, Erika.
