So, we've got a HTPC with bluray, but we can't find good software to play blurays. PowerDVD plays fine... when it wants to. Otherwise, it crashes, for no reason at all.
Is there any freeware?

Freeware is highly unlikely because of the license fees developers need to pay for blueray playback. I never looked into it, but from what I heard PowerDVD is pretty much the only one.

Fees? That's bad...
Where's that kid who cracked DVD protection when we need him?

PowerDVD10 Ultra works fine for my dad

Mine seems to crash when audio is set to 7.1, but I don't know why.

I believe so. Now I think I've managed to download the original software by HP (actually it's made by Cyberlink, how ironic). Hope this one don't crash.
