but trying to figure out the software side is problematic

You can use VLC, Media Player, or Media Player classic. I just started using Media Player classic and like it the best. A lot of blu-ray movies when I rip them, wont have audio unless being played with VLC or MPC, and VLC doesnt have hardware acceleration as far as I know. Everytime I use it, there are moments where it freezes to sync up, and CPU usage is around 45%. With MPC it stays under 5% and no problems.

There are some codecs and what not you need though, Ill list them in a bit. I dont remember exactly what I used, but have them saved to a USB drive.
