Need *QUICK* advice on a Blu-Ray drive for my iMac!

[mattcube64]

Hey guys! I'd really, really like to play Blu-Ray movies on my 24" iMac, as the screen is beautiful. I know I can't do it in OSX; but if I get this, will it 100%, for sure, work in Windows Vista:

Will I run into playback problems? I noticed people saying I needed other software; but won't VLC work just fine? Also; will my iMac give me any problems with copyright protection?

Thanks!

You may run into HDCP problems. Only way to know is to install the BD software from the package and try playing it on the iMac.

Was looking at that same drive myself yesterday. I'm thinking I may go with this instead, though and get an enclosure.

LG Blu-ray/HD DVD-ROM (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136154&Tpk=27-136-154)

Looking at this enclosure
VANTEC NST-530S2 Aluminum 5.25" USB 2.0 External Enclosure (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817392021)

Not sure on the software for playback yet.
