Hello,
What are the best BRD software players in W10 & macOS v10.14.6? I tried
to do it for free with VLC MP, but geez it was complex and difficult. I
had it working once for Avatar 1 movie BRD and wasn't impressed. And
now, it doesn't work again. I read that I have to keep stuff updated.
Too much work and don't have time to play with it again like last time.
I just want a simple BRD player that can play USA's BRDs with menu
access too in my computers. I don't mind playing for the software
player (no subscriptions please).
Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Software to play a BRD in a downloaded BRD file(i.e not disc in an
external drive)?
Software to stream to your pc a BRD version of an online source provided
and stored file?
Are you curently getting the same exact problems on both devices(Win10
and macOS)?
Were you using the same software program on Win10 and macOS?
In all my years of using Windows...the question of playing BRD has not
come up very often. All I can add at this point, not knowing to the
answers to the above questions so I can ask other colleagues/experts in
the media field, is the most common I've heard people using is Power DVD.
Not recommending PowerDVD, b/c I/we have a BRD compatible player
connected to the smart TV.
A quick check shows 3 different PowerDVD versions
Free, Standard, and Ultra
=> The latter two at this time are available for the same lifetime(no
subscription) cost. ~$60 U.S.
License(non subscription link)

Hi,
I would recommend "Blu-ray Player Pro.app" for macOS
fromhttps://www.macblurayplayer.com. It works perfectly

It comes with its own handcuffs.

It is a stretch to call it free, because you "need to set up an account".
At best it might be a trial.
