And that's how I used to watch bluray movies on my PC with 29in full
HD PC monitor and 50in HD TV, with PC Dolby surround sound (5
speakers) before I bought a 'proper' blu-Ray player and proper surround.
Both connected to the PC. PC blu Ray drives and dolby surround were
really cheap (under 200) , compared to stand alone blu Ray players and
surround (over 1K) about 3 or 4 yrs ago, so using the PC components
gave me the best of both worlds.
Keep moving your mouse left to find the cursor...
