VLC and Blu-ray disks

OK Ken Berry may use a media player that can do this, but I do not think it is available any more.??
I cannot remember the name but I am sure Ken will reply and say what he used?

It was DVDFab Media Player Pro. There is a free version: http://www.dvdfab.cn/media-player.htm Unfortunately, that version does not play BD menus. For that you have to buy the Pro version, and that costs US$65.

Purchasing a Blu-ray player is a good choice, but you can also try ripping Blu-ray to other fomats like MP4 or MKV so that you can watch Blu-ray movies without limitation. To complete this, you need a Blu-ray ripper and I strongly recommend VideoSolo BD-DVD Ripper.

I’m doing similar workflow. Before I burn BD I check ISO first.
However, I mount the created ISO (in Windows 10) as a separate drive.
Just right click on ISO and select Mount option.
Then in VLC I select to play Blue-Ray (with Disk Menu option selected – is not selected by default).
After that BD plays with all menus and controls available.
If everything is OK, I’ll burn ISO into BD disk.
Mind you the ISO is on SSD so the performance is OK.

While I don't do Blue Ray nor DVD's I have done this ISO mount on Windows 10, and you can also get mounting applications for prior to Windows 10. Then you are really simulating a disc.
