Trying to hook up LG Blu-ray external Drive

[yomango]

Does anyone was successful playing Blu ray on the MacBookpro using the External LG Bluray Drive .Model # Quad -interface " 5.25" Optical Drive External Solution . LG # WHO8LS20

So far my laptop can see the device but cannot play the Blu ray disc .
When I open the Blu ray disc , I see 3 folders ...nothing else...
For the software part , I am using Cyberlink Power DVD 9 for windows 7 .
If anyone is successful ,feel free to contact me .

Thanks a million ,

Is PowerDVD giving you an error or is it just doing nothing when you point it at the movie?

It looks like you need a driver update.

You can play Blu-ray movies on your Mac under OS X by installing Make MKV and VLC, then follow these instructions.

Where do I get the new driver ?? from Apple or from Nvidia??? I could not find anything for my MBP....2.5 mhz

On my Mac Pro I had to install AHCI before being able to play Bluray disks in Windows but seeing that you are using an external drive this is not necessary. ATI or NVIDIA drivers can be found on their designated websites.

www.nvidia.com
www.ati.com

Does your Blu-ray drive have DVD or CD burning abilities?

Yes it does....why??

If you've tried this method and it doesn't work, then you likely have a Blu-ray title that is not supported by Make MKV. Having a burner is all that is required of Make MKV for Blu-ray playback using VLC on Macs.
