No you can't. Samsung TV's cannot decode the Bluray movie. Only a few Bluray players and Media players can do it.

you can download a bluray rip (mkv), copy it to your ext hard disk and hook it up to the tv. If your tv supports mkv files, it should play without any problem.

Blu ray file has .m2ts extension.
Well MKV is not a problem. Most of these I'm able to play

Actually got hold of an uncompressed Blu Ray and when I played the video was coming but audio codec missing error was coming. Also looks like some files were missing from the folder. So need to check the complete one.

Please go through this post first

On page two I have given link to download Hd stream extractor where u just need to extract the dolby true hd/dts hd ma audio stream to dolby digital(ac3) or dts audio.

Then mux the full hd video, extracted audio(ac3/dts) using mkvmergegui...

Then enjoy the movie via usb on your tv.

This is most likely happening since your BD rip has the HD audio streams like Dolby True HD or DTS HD Master Audio and your samsung TV is unable top decode these HD audio formats. So you should follow the ways mentioned by lake1988 top first extract the HD Audio Track into non-HD lossy format (AC3 etc) and then combine the audio and video back to one piece once again using the mkvmerge software.

This thread is probably dead now. But in case the OP has not found an answer, DTS-HD is backward compatible. I have a Samsung TV and it bitstreams the DTS-core part of file containing DTS-HD MA to my AV receiver. Dolby TrueHD is probably in all likelihood not supported, haven't tested.

I'm trying to remedy the situation by getting together an HTPC :)
