How to play Blu-ray on Mac Air?
Despite lack of official support, you can play Blu-ray on the Macbook Air. It just takes a few more steps than on a Windows machine, which depends on your hardware. For internal solutions, you’ll have to have a Macbook Air, but external drives will let you add Blu-ray abilities to any OS X computer along with some help from third-party software.
Today, I would like to introduce a new way to play your Blu-ray on Macbook. And what you need is a kind of third-party software named MacBook Air Blu-ray Player which is specially designed for Macbook Air..

Insert BD into the Blu-ray drive, and it will load automatically. After a few seconds, you can watch the movie directly.
Note: Some discs can open directly, and you can press "Open Disc" button and select the disc you want to watch in the pop-up dialogue. Or you can press "Open File" button to open Blu-ray ISO and other video formats.

Mac's won't recognize Blu-ray devices because Apple chose not to support them in OS X. That's no longer the case thanks to Mac Blu-ray Player. - Softonic Editor
