Introducing a new easy Blu-ray player software for the new iMac

Blu-ray is still a distant dream for iMac owners if you absolutely, completely need to have this feature, it is technically possible by the help of one third-party software - iMac Blu-ray Player - that I just found incidentally.

Obviously, Apple's new iMac all-in-one desktops impressed us, especially the massive 27-inch model. But we're left wondering what happened to the rumored Blu-ray drive option. Playing HD optical disc content on that big screen seems like a fool so I set out to see if I could successfully use an external Blu-ray drive. Fortunately, a new Blu-ray player software for iMac came up and brings the trend of Blu-ray.

How to play iMac Blu-ray Player on the new iMac?

Preparations:

  • The new iMac
  • iMac Blu-ray Player
  • External Blu-ray drive 

Step one: Connect Blu-ray drive

Connect a USB-powered external BD-ROM drive to the new iMac.

Step two: Download iMac Blu-ray player

Download the iMac Bluray Player from website and installed it.

Step three: Play Blu-ray movies

After running this software, load a Blu-ray disc into the slot-loading external drive and it plays automatically.

Through the software, it is played back well. The picture looked as crisp as we'd expect from a Blu-ray Disc, and definitely seemed much sharper than a DVD. That is great!
