AFAIK it's required for menus to work properly.

As a newbie without menus, I'm doing this in my updated 64-bit Windows 10 PC. I inserted my Avatar BRD disc #1 and then tried to play it with VLC v3.0.18 but it said "Blu-ray error:
This Blu-ray Disc needs a library for BD+ decoding, and your system does not have it.
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'bluray:///M:/'. Check the log for details."

I assume Messages (debug level 2) are the logs so I copied and pasted into https://pastebin.com/raw/aLrcLJsN.

Sheesh, that was dang tedious and complex for a newbie. I got it to finally play my Avatar 1 BRD #1. However, I couldn't play its disc #2 (extras) due to lack of JRE for its menus? I'll have to try that later.
