You can try http://www.cyberlink.com/prog/bd-support/diagnosis.do and see if your computer is fast enough.

And if you want menu playback you must use tmt3 or powerdvd, you might have to use dvdfab virtualdrive to mount the blu-ray as blu-ray drive.

And this is not an authoring issue. Moving you our playback section.

You can also play one of the .m2ts files directly from the STREAM folder within the BD file with MPCHC (Or VLC). Usually the largest one is the main movie. But for menus, etc., you need a Blu-ray player like TMT3 as Baldrick mentions.
