Blue ray and Videocard compatibility

[alc112]

Hi! I really didn't know where to ask this. It seemed that no category matched with this.

The thing is that I'm planning to buy a blue-ray burner for my pc. The idea is to use it to play blue-ray movies connected to a LCD TV.
I have a geforce GT9500 and I tested a .ts file (as far as I know this is a blue-ray format, right?) and the video doesn't run smoothly. This was a music video of 6 minutes in 467 mb. If my pc is not able to reproduce that, I guess it won't by any means play a full 25 gb blue-ray movie.

SO I wanted you to suggest me video cards that can allow me to play blue ray movies smoothly and (possibly) flawlessly and that I can connect to an LCD TV (with HDMI) and to my LCD monitor (VGA, this is not very important, I guess both videocards can work at the same time?)

Don't worry about the price, I came to realize that making a "cinema room" is not cheap

Moving you to the general forum as this has not much to do with any standalone blu-ray player.

A .ts file can be anything. Open it in mediainfo and check the resolution, codec, etc.
And give more information about your current computer also.

Thank you, Baldrick.

My PC info is in the .txt file (too big to fit the character limit)

A dual core 2.2ghz should be able to handle 1080p hd pretty well. And the geforce 9500 isn't that bad (http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9500gt_us.html ? ).

Try play with MPC-HC and see how it works.

Actually it looks super pixelate now
