Sorry, missed your post. Potplayer is very similar to MPC-HC, except that it offers a slightly eaiser OOTB experience.
AFAIK, disc based (i.e. encrypted) BD playback is only supported by ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre, CyberLink PowerDVD, Corel WinDVD and Nero. Of the four options the first two are the best, although TBF I’ve never tried Nero.
