I am able to play "normal" dvds with windows media center on vista. However,
trying to use a blu-ray disc dvd, nothings works. Media center keeps on
telling that it cannot detect a video dvd in the dvd-rom drive.
Is this a set up issue or can blu-ray disc dvds not been played here?

You must have a Blu-Ray disk drive to play Blu-Ray.

The drive in most computers is not a High Definition Blu-Ray or the HD DVD.

That's like expecting a DVD to play in your CD player.

Windows Media Center does not support either High definition types and so you
must us something like Cyberlink BD version (2 speaker sound) to play a
BluRay disk. Cyberlink also have a plugin that will intigrate with MCE. Their
Ultra version supports multi channel sound. Have a look at these links

The above note assumes that you have already fitted a BluRay compatible drive
to your PC.

Here is a good PC advisor to check you system is comaptible for BluRay.
