Fujitsu is still putting Blu-ray drives in laptops; and people in Japan still want them (www.techspot.com)

Literally the only legitimate way to watch encrypted Blu-rays on Windows is with CyberShot PowerDVD.

Not even VLC?

Nope. It will fail to read. You have to use community software along with definitely illegitimate key files to decode most any commercial release. On top of this, some predatory releases will scramble the chapters unless you know which playlist to select out of hundreds, which is information passed to PowerDVD and literally no one else (within the PC software space).

MakeMKV works too.

Key word legitimate. Without the community key files it doesn’t do anything on its own.
