Blue Ray as interna drive Bob Day 06-24-2008

 I am building a high end vista media center...

I would like blue ray; I have seen they not make blue ray playes that can
be installed internal to a PC (not sure if they record). I presume that I
could install a blue ray play in the vitsa MCE computer, and thus play blue
ray on the TV. Is that correct? Is there a better way to do blue ray?

Thanks
Bob

I am not sure I understand your question but if you were indeed asking if
you could install a Blue Ray player/burner in your new computer the answer
is: "Yes, you can, if you can afford it. At least three or four companies
sell drives in the $250-$300 price range. Take a look at www.newegg.com or
at some other well-stocked vendors website. At least one company makes a
drive which only reads Blue Ray but reads/burns standard DVDs".

Yes you can purchase an internal Blu-Ray drive, they internal player only,
and Blu-Ray burner drives. Neither XP Media Center nor Vista Media Center
can play Blu-Ray disk from within Media Center. You need to purchase an
software player lilke PowerDVD Ultra or WinDVD.

If you intend to play Blu-Ray disk you need an HDCP compliant video card,
and a HDCP compliant TV/Monitor to play movies at 1080P HD resolution
