But its BD/DVD disc drive sometimes could really drive you crazy and freak you out. Next is a question asked from the reddit.“I haven't always had this issue, and I'm not sure when it started so I can't say what firmware update screwed me. If I start up my PS4 and eject whatever disc is in there, and put in a DVD nothing happens. I don't get the DVD to select on the main screen. It just sits there. Then when I go to power options and hit restart, it takes a good 5 minutes to restart because whatever my PS4 was doing with the DVD it locked it up and it usually says my PS4 shut down incorrectly.

VLC, powerful multi-functional media player software, can run on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, etc. which is widely used now. It supports various audio and video formats like MP4, MKV, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX and DVD/VCD etc. It can also support Blu-ray, but there are only some old Blu-ray discs can be ripped. So, this article will provide you three ways to help you play all the Blu-ray discs with VLC player on Macbook.
1. Upgrade VLC Media Player to 2.0 or later version.
It is the easiest way for you. As far as we know, only the VLC Media Player 2.0 or later version can rip Blu-ray discs for they come with multiple fixes for Blu-ray discs playback.
2. Use keys database and AACS dynamic library to play Blu-ray on VLC.
If you have upgraded VLC Media Player to 2.0 or later version and still can not play Blu-ray discs with VLC player on Macbook. Then you can try this way.
Download the KEYS DATABASE(KEYDB.cfg) and AACS DYNAMIC LIBRARY(libaacs.dll for Windows or libaacs.dylib for Mac).
For Windows Users:

*open your user area (“C:\Users\your username\AppData”)
* Enable view hidden files and folders (Under Folder Options – View tab then select “show hidden files…”->select ok)
* Open “AppData” directory or create a folder and name it aacs
* Place the downloaded KEYDB.cfg file in this folder directly.
2. AACS DYNAMIC LIBRARY
* Go to “c:\Program Files” [Or "c:\Program Files (x86)" if running 64bit]
* Navigate to “VLC” directory, and move the libaacs.dll file into it.
Now, you can easily play Blu-Ray disc with VLC on Windows for free. Note: The latest VLC still doesn’t have menu support yet.
For Mac users:
You may navigate the corresponding folder and move into the necessary files as follow. Go to: http://vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name/, get the necessary files.
