i5 doesn't do Blueray?

[thebignewt]

I just assumed it would, it's a new unit (27 inch). But I was ripping/converting some DVDs using Handbrake and stuck in a Blueray disc and it spit it out.

You can't be serious?! No Macs have blueray drives!

 

[GGJstudios]

No Mac ever made will read Blu-ray discs in the built-in optical drive.

You know what they say when you ass-u-me something......😉

Blu-rays don't play on Macs.

You might find this article useful that I just found via google: http://gigaom.com/apple/tasting-the-forbidden-fruit-blu-ray-on-the-mac/

You know what happens when you assume.

Guess you didn't get the memo on the 6400 post threads on this topic: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/956807/

This is turning out to be such a funny post. You guy's have me in stitches!

I guess if the OP wrote to Steve Jobs; Herr Steve would probably reply with "you are putting it in wrong" (that's what she said).😱

I wonder if the OP is serious about his question?

FAIL,

its the same as the "i assumed my iPad would play flash videos" threads.

sigh.

You can do blu-ray on a Mac with an external drive and windows in bootcamp.
A quick look at the specs for the iMac would show it doesn't have blu-ray

Sorry I started such a gutbusting thread lol 😀. I am obviously new to Macs. I don't really care if it does Blueray. But I read some threads somewhere and people were ripping/converting Blueray discs using the Handbrake software. I guess they were using an external and bootcamp, like you said. For my money blueray is more about the audio than the video anyway.

Just get an external blu-ray drive. 🙂 Use MakeMKV. Works great.

 

[iSayuSay]

Maybe you should read spec on the box first, no Bluray. Steve hates it, if you want to rip bluray, get an external BD drive, if you want to watch one, gw to windows bootcamp and get PowerDVD or some player software

Lol!!!.. Yeah sorry, you have to get lots of external devices to make your expensive all in one iMac half decent...

I don't count bluray as a requirement to make my iMac "half decent". It's already fully decent.
