    hi, any help would be great!!!
    my pc isnt up to the specs to have an internal blu ray drive, (motherboard and video card)
    can i still use a usb blu ray drive just to back up my blu rays so i can transfer them to my usb enabled blu ray player with external hdd and play them in say mkv on my tv in the lounge?????????
