Can VLC play blue ray DVD?

[kwijibo55]

Hi, my PC is equipped with a blue ray player and the software that came with it (powerDVD) just won't work for blue ray.

Can VLC play blue ray DVD? I gave it a try but couldn't make it work. I've read somewhere it is supposed to but the "open a disc" option didn't work. Is it only to play ripped blue ray files? Or maybe I have to link to a specific file on the DVD?

Any help is appreciated, I'm definitly not buying a 1 year subscription just for a software to play blue ray

I'm going to guess the answer is no?

Can VLC play blue ray DVD?

Not yet, for now VLC can't deal with the structure and the menus of a BD, not to mention the encryption.

Is it only to play ripped blue ray files?

Actually yes.
