Does anyone know if ImageEn can play a BluRay movie? If so, which demo should I try?

If you have the M2TS codec installed on your system and it is registered for Windows MediaPlayer, then yes. Just use an ImageEnVideoView1 to load and play the file. Take a look at the Display -> VideoPlayer demo.

I can play blueray on my pc, but the VideoPayer does nothing when I open a movieobject.bdmv file. No errors, no exceptions just nothing.

Any ideas? I have a client ask me if I thought it was possible to modify an bluray stream in real time with ImageEn. My initial thoughts were that it would be too slow, even if I could get it to play at all.

Do you have the proper codec installed? Try K-Lite codec pack and register ALL file extensions for Windows Mediaplayer during installation. That usually does the trick for me.

Which to download, basic, standard or lite? Also it looks like a lot of junk software is installed. Which link to use to only install the codec? Thanks for your assistance.

Here's a comparison of the different flavors:

I always use one of the download links from http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm . No junk software AFAIK, and you can always choose which parts of the codec pack and what extras you want during the installation process. Stay away from the Windows Mediaplayer replacement by the way, as it registers all video formats for itself and renders ImageEnVideoView useless.

I installed the CODEC and BluRay discs play in player that shipped with my Dell, but Windows Media Player shows the disc as a music disc and will not play. The Video Demo loads the movie and shows the duration of the movie in the ImageEnView hint as 2:55:00, but does not play.

Are the BlueRay videos encrypted? That might be the problem. Also, are you using the latest DirectShow version?

I tried 2 bluray discs. One was a Netflix movie and the other was a Planet earth video by the BBC. I have no idea if they are encrypted. How do you tell what DirectShow version is installed? I am running Windows 8.1 with all updates so I suspect the DirectShow is the latest version.

If you have downloaded all updates, then you are most likely running the latest DirectShow version. How to get at the specific version information, that I don't know. You can check for the DirectX version, though:
