Windows dropped built-in DVD playback and never had Blu-ray support, so how do you watch your discs on a PC? Leawo Free Blu-ray Player plays Blu-rays, DVDs and video files, and supports disc menus and playback from ISO images and folders, alongside common video and audio formats.
Disc menus and ISO playback
Load a Blu-ray or DVD from a drive, or open a disc folder or ISO image. During playback, the virtual controller provides access to disc-menu choices such as scenes and languages when the disc includes a menu. The player also supports Blu-ray and DVD region codes without requiring a player-region selection.
For movie discs, playback controls include choosing available audio tracks and subtitles. External subtitles can also be added, and subtitle effects can be adjusted.
Video and audio formats
Alongside optical media, the player handles HD and 4K video files, audio, and ISO images. Examples of supported video containers include MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI, and TS; audio formats include MP3, FLAC, WAV, and AAC.
Playback controls and appearance
Adjust the picture to fit different screens with aspect-ratio options that include original, zoom, stretch, and custom settings. The player can also use GPU hardware decoding when supported by the graphics card.
