If you fancy using free software and ripping your Blu-ray disks to storage, you can fiddle with VLC or MKV tools and watch your movie the complicated way. Thankfully there are some excellent ways around this. So using a standard Mac all you’re provided with is iCloud and its iTunes Movie store, both of which you coincidentally pay Apple for. There’s an inner irony here, in that the 2015 movie Steve Jobs is available on Blu-ray, and Apple hasn’t come up with a better solution than BD-R for removable bulk storage. This all goes back a dozen years or so, to October 2008, when Steve Jobs decided that Macs wouldn’t support Blu-ray, which he castigated as “a bag of hurt”. But when I connected my shiny new Pioneer BDR-XD05B portable Blu-ray burner and inserted Spitfire, macOS couldn’t even guess that it is playable. I'll try to make some update for these issues.All you should need is that pile of old Blu-ray disks and a Blu-ray player hooked up to your Mac, for its Retina display to be filled with high-definition movies which you’ve already paid for and don’t have to stream. Sometimes I just can't resist to click the menu buttons, even I know they are un-clickable.
But menu navigation with mouse is almost impossible because the menu is a small java app on Blu-ray disc, which accepts key events only. To add volume boost (with a risk of clipping), there is indeed a need to redesign the volume slider. I'm sorry that you have experienced such issues that I've also struggled with for a long time.
The volume issue will be significant for people who are watching on laptops and who live in cities, where there is a lot of noise if you have a window open, or if you live in a noisy building like a dorm. They should perhaps allow over-extending the volume the way VLC player does. But they really need to fix the volume and mouse navigation faults that I mentioned, especially for the high price they charge. Leawo will let you play the extra tracks on the disc, but you have to figure out what they are and you don’t know the title, whereas this app does show you the names of the extra menu items. I mainly bought this software because it does allow you to see the disc menus, which Leawo’s app does not. If these two things were fixed, it would definitely get an extra star. You constantly forget to do it that way and it’s just a poor oversight. (2) the menu options must be selected with the arrow keys and the enter key. The volume levels with the Leawo Player are about two or three notches more than with this software. I have to have my volume at the maximum for every disc and it’s often not loud enough. My two biggest complaints about Macgo Blu-ray Player Pro, given the hefty price, are: (1) the volume levels are too low.
