Thanks. I ran the 3D/Bluray advisor and all the items passed except - the Software Player PowerDVD 15 (30-days trial version).

So it brings me to my original question - Can PowerDVD15 trial version play Bluray discs?

Apparently not the blu ray disc(s) you have or your computer dies not meet the requirements such as having hardware acceleration listed above.

Buy the full version and return it if it doesn't work for you.

Mu Power DVD Ultra demo Played Blu-Rays Just Fine, Once I Purchased the FULL version, I had Problems, and The Remote refuses to work as indicated. And Video Playback on the Paid version of Blu-Rays Stutters terribly, I'm considering Returning it for refund, Since $98 is a bit salty for a spastic Program, Who's Free Demo Out-Performs in every aspect !
