But Arcsoft only can work on Windows platforms, I have used Macgo and it works great on my iMac. Only the Blu-ray menu is still in experiment and wish it can update quickly. http://www.macblurayplayer.com/macgo-christmas-promotion.htm
Exactly, The key here is that your system must be Blu-ray compatible. I used Macgo Windows Blu-ray Player on my Windows 7 before. It sometimes gets crash. After I changed my computer to Windows 8.1. It runs more smooth. http://goo.gl/bJxDDi
