At the moment I am paying $0 to view Bd discs using VLC in Windows.
you where paying windows and probably some BD key with it, most of the time given by the readers (harware) vendor
shame is that we can't use it in linux
Firstly, I did have to purchase a copy of Windows 7 Professional - and it cost less than price which I was paying for S.u.S.E. way back at about version #6 or #7. And this was when a $ was worth a $. Secondly, there is no "key" to the Bd discs which comes with Windows that I am aware of. (But I have to admit that I have never used the Media Player [don't think that I even have it installed] in Windows so cannot definitively confirm this; will check the next time I boot-into Windows to see if I do have Media Player installed.) Thirdly, see my other responses: I am happy to pay some annual fee to be able to view Bd discs on Linux. However, I do NOT accept the fact that some money grabbing enterprises have the right to impose these restrictions on the use of media especially when they pay exorbitant fees - and make exorbitant profits - for producing some B-grade movie which they then release on a DVD or a Bd disc.
