How to play Blu-ray on Mac Mini?


Blu-ray must be a hurt for Mac mini owners, but if you really want to have this feature, with the help of one third-party software - Mac mini Blu-ray Player, the dream could come true. Many people like to make Mac mini a nice home cinema theatre to play DVD, music, photo, or multimedia. But what a pity that only Blu-ray can't be played on it now. Is it Steve Jobs' joke? Or a trick from Apple company? However, I thought there would be a technical way to resolve this problem even if the method could be illegal.

Fortunately, when I search how to play Blu-ray on Mac mini through Google, there was one review attracted me. A new Blu-ray player software for Mac mini came up, which make me can't wait to try it.

  • Mac's won't recognize Blu-ray devices because Apple chose not to support them in OS X. That's no longer the case thanks to Mac Blu-ray Player. - Softonic Editor
