After buying The Hobbit part 2 (The Desolation of Smaug) on Bluray, I found my supposedly top-of-the range Blueray player struggling in parts, and freezing at one or two points which required a power cycle before it would continue.
I'm pretty sure this wasn't due to dust on the disk, as the thing was brand spanking new and squeeky clean. So it seems its processor simply can't keep up with the high-definition data (15 Gbytes worth).
However, when trying to play the thing on my Alienware laptop, none of my programs would play it at all! So in summary, I wondered what the best most advanced Bluray player program was these days that would support this evidently new format (or the new copy protection the disk may incorporate).
To give an indication of the film's format on the disk, the latter comprises folders AACS, BDMV, CERTIFICATE (and a desktop.ini file)
