    WinXP internal Sony BWU-200S Blu-Ray...will not work Blu-Ray discs, but will work with regular DVDs. Tired of playing with this...will check back in when SW is ready for prime-time.

    I am having this same problem with an internal bluray drive. Plus it will not see blurays or DVDs.

    Re: I wish I could convert my Blu-rays, but...

    I just upgraded my old Panasonic reader which I got for $200 many years ago to use Mac.

    I replaced it with one of new Pioneer's. It's actually a TOP load, not the typical slot or tray you normally see. I really like it. WAY faster than my older Panasonic. Quiet. And the top load affords better access / ease with the disc and is much faster when swapping in and out a stack of D2D titles.

I can use it to add Blu-ray movies to my D2D cart on both laptops. And the drive is $35.39 with free shipping, so it's a great way to add that capability while the D2D sale is still on without having to buy a new computer. It should pay for itself if you have enough discs!
    It's great these have come down in price over the years. I still have my giant Buffalo External Blu Ray writer and it was on sale for $200 when I bought it years ago.

    Yes, windows just needs to see the drive and be able to access the disc to verify some data on the disc.

    That said Windows XP can do that same thing but for some reason undisclosed by Vudu the D2D program currently breaks with Blu-Ray disc and XP. It's not a matter of XP not originally supporting blu-ray either as the correct codes, drivers, software can be installed easily so you access, view, and play on XP but D2D is still unhappy.

    I found this drive on Amazon

    Now in order to use VUDU at home with Blu-ray discs, do I need to be able to play the Blu-ray on the PC, or is it enough if the player recognizes the disc?

    So I finally took advantage of Ultraviolet and Vudu and love the service. I have used the Vudu D2D at home Beta to successfully convert DVD's to HDX versions.

    Having said that, I have a ton of Blu-rays that I would like to convert. Since some of you have had difficulty with external blu-ray players I was wondering if anyone had advice on a particular drive that might be a good option to buy which people have had success with.

    I have two laptops at home. One of the is running Windows XP, the other is running Windows 7.

    I'm just hoping to avoid spending $100 for a drive or more and then having it not work.

    Thanks for your help
    I don't recall anyone having issues with Blu-Ray's. This issue has been with the OS. XP doesn't seem to work for anyone. Mac isn't here yet. If I remember correctly no one has has any problems with Win 7. I'm sure Win 8 works just fine.

    I couldn't get XP to work on any of three different machines / configs. I've got two Win 7 machines to work without even trying. I couldn't get any Win emulation to work on Mac but some have.

    I've used three different external blu-rays and all have worked across all three different Win 7 systems.

    I think your best best would be on the windows 7 machine. Also, you can find cheap blu ray drives now. I got one for about $40 shipped off ebay and it works great. If you want a burner then it will be more. External Blu ray player are pretty cheap. External blu ray burners are still pricey.

    I finally gqve up on many attempts of trying to get XP working on three different machines and multiple emulators on Mac.

    I just broke down and bought a used Win 7 machine to get something working since Vudu can't even get past the current beta let alone on other equipment.

    I had success on XP --

    I used virtualbox to install windows 7 on a virtual machine, set the bd-rom to "pass through" (this setting is required) then I was able to successfully get a Blu-ray recognized by the app.

    I have the same problem on my XP laptop. I can see the BD disc and contents in explorer. Vudu To Go can see the DVD I put in the USB Bluray drive...but when I put a BD in the drive the Vudu software just loops forever and doesn't seem to read the bluray disc at all.
