What do you mean?

Your response did not help, nor answer my question. Which additional software are you referring to?

In short, you cross posted.

And you'll need BluRay player software. If the title installs a "codec" then WMP might work but the way BR/BD is played and the heavy DRM and more I think you should plan on using the BR/BD player software.
