Is there a way to play Blu-Ray discs on Macintosh systems without having a Blu-Ray player phisically installed on your mac, EXAMPLE:Using a software you download from the internet?

Though I'm a little unsure of the question, it is not possible to play a Blu-ray disc from your 3d-party Blu-ray drive, but you can play a Blu-ray video as a file on your hard disk. Its standard format is suffixed with .m2ts.

If the free, download-able VLC or Mplayer can't play it, which they should, you can convert it to a mpeg-4 file with Handbrake and play that.

I have actually attempted just to Rip Blu-Rays on my IMAC with Toast 10 Platinum Edition. My Imac just spit out the BD and wouldn't even allow me look at the Data on the disc. They are M2TS files but I think the normal super drive on Macs is insufficient at seeing through the multiple layers of a BD. What you can do is buy a blu-ray reader/burner externally and connect it through a USB or Firewire depending on your unit. $150 - $350
