Question by JAH: What is the difference between playing a Blue Ray Disk and playing a Blue Ray format file on computer?
I am curious about this. Someone gave me a flash drive with a blue ray format movie on it. Can I just play this on my PC? What is the difference of playing blue ray off a disk in a drive (blue ray player) and just playing the file on my computer? I have my computer hooked up to a 1080P hd tv via HDMI if that helps. Thanks.

well technically its the same depending on how it was ripped. if its the actual blue ray dvd files and is true in size the thing would be massive. chances are its a mkv file format which is the standard way to rip and create a single file. problem is mkv is a pain in the ass unless you have a good pc. what i do is use KM player or VLC player to watch those files. they are set up for mkv files. the best thing to do is create a divx avi with devede and burn it to a dual layer dvd, youll retain full quality this way at only 7gb in size believe it or not. thats what i do.
