The Mac Mini (marketed as Mac mini) is a small form factor desktop computer manufactured by Apple Inc. Like earlier mini-ITX PC designs, it is 7.7 inches (20 cm) square and 1.4 inches (3.6 cm) tall. It weighs 2.7 pounds (1.2 kg). Before the mid-2011 revision, all models, except the mid-2010 server model, came with an internal optical disc drive. Models pre-2010 used an external power supply and were narrower but taller at 2.0×6.5×6.5 inches (5.1×17×17 cm). The Mac Mini is one of three desktop computers in the current Macintosh lineup, the other two being the iMac and Mac Pro, although it generally uses components usually featured in laptops, hence its small size.
A lot of Mac users may buy the new Mac Mini and hook it up to the 52″ 1080P LCDTV. Only problem is the Blu-ray fans who bought plenty of Blu-rays and would like to use the Mac Mini as the MAIN SOURCE of entertainment on their TV. But Apple never makes its computer support Blu-ray playback naturally. A dedicated Blu Ray player device isn’t the only way for Mac Mini users to watch high definition movies – there is also other solution available now for your playback Blu-ray or BD ISO on Mac Mini directly.
Today, I would like to introduce this new way to play your Blu-ray disc or BD ISO on Mac Mini. And what you need is a kind of third-party software named Mac Mini Blu-ray Player from UFUSoft which is specially designed for Mac Mini.
Preparations:
Mac Mini
UFUSoft Mac Mini Blu-ray Player
A Blu-ray drive (internal/external)
Step One: Connect Blu-ray driver
You have to have an external bluray driver. Connect it to Mac Mini via USB interface.
Step Two: Download Mac Mini Blu-ray Player
Download the Mac Mini Blu-ray Player and install it at once.
Step Three: Play Blu-ray movies
1) Run Mac Mini Blu-ray Player
2) Insert the Blu-ray disc into driver
3) Open the Blu-ray disc. Some Blu-ray discs will be launched automatically, others can be opened by open buttons.
There are two open buttons: “Open File” and “Open Disc”.
When you play BD, just click on the ‘Open Disc’ button and select the BD in the pop-up dialogue. After a couple seconds of loading, you can enjoy the Blu-ray movies on Mac freely. Otherwise, you can press “Open File” button to play Blu-ray ISO files or videos in other media formats.
I think it would be the simplest way to lead your Mac Mini to the extremely Blu-ray world.
