But I want something that won't try to coopt my PC, that will accept that it's something I use for 10 minutes a month and not constantly nag me, take over file types, and so on. So, for me while I admit to being a bit cheap, $40 isn't a problem. I've had an old version of PDVD long ago, circa 2009-2011, and it was this huge thing that kept trying to take over the PC. But I'd rather something "lighter" if possible. If PowerDVD is the only option, fine I'll pay the ~$40 for a copy. Things like VLC and MPC-HC can play from the ripped folders or decrypted disc, but NOT THE MENUS. just a few seconds needed, just enough to line up episodes. I'd even be happy with a crippleware thing that would play leaving a watermark or something, as my needs are very minimal. It's solely being able to play from the menu that is my task. So, it TMT is out of the equation, is PowerDVD the ONLY option out there that will actually play the bluray menu? Note, I have the AnyDVDHD software from RedFox installed, so decryption is not the problem. So I play a few seconds of the episode from the disc with TMT, play a few seconds of the ripped MKV episodes, and line 'em up. Typically, if there are 3-4 episodes on the disc, when ripped to MKV files, you have no way of knowing which of the mkvs relates to "episode 1" and so on. The ONLY reason I use TMT to play blurays is to sort out which title ripped by MakeMKV corresponds to which title on the Bluray menu. The bottom line is that with current windows security rollups installed on my Win 7 desktop system (which I use to rip discs), my old copy of Arcsoft TMT won't open. This is a new thread with new title and different focus in hopes of getting more answers that may be helpful.
