I'm looking to buying a new laptop with a Blu-ray drive and HDMI output for connection to a 1080p plasma.
I have a friend who already has one and uses it in this way, but with a problem that i wish to avoid.
He can view & use his his laptop on his plasma via a HDMI lead but when he inserts a blu-ray disc it says you dont have authorisation to view the blu-ray film in this way and it can only be viewed on the laptop screen.
Although this is not a problem for my friend, it would be to me as the reason for the blu-ray laptop is to save on buying my girlfriend a new laptop and a separate blu-ray player for the spare room.
Ive visited a couple of electrical stores (ie currys and PC World) asking if this is a common problem with blu-ray laptops but they only prove what we already know, they are only trained in selling, not helping and get confussed when asked question that they are not scripted to answer.
Does anyone know or have any advice that may help me?
Many thx in advance. Tappet
Sounds more software than anything else, so yeah, try different players.
In general though you should be able to do this.
