There is an easy way to "trick" installation of the Toshiba UDF2.5 driver on non Toshiba PCs.
1.) Unzip or unrar it.
2.) Start setup.
It will tell you, that you cannot install it on your non-Toshiba PC.
DO NOT CLOSE THIS MESSAGE BOX.
Navigate to your temp directory with explorer. You'll find a directory named like this: {1347D5A6-4FE0-476A-B85F-D0FC91F55EB0}
Enter it. You'll find two files:
thdudf.inf and thdudf.sys
Right click thdudf.inf, select "Install".
Wait a while. Close the Message Box. Reboot.
Then at your convenience if you shall ever wish to uninstall it use this reg hack to be able to do so. I have uploaded the 2 files as well for your convenience. This is only for those that are running XP, Vista doesn't need this driver to play blu-ray.
