    Easy, google for it -few sec and you will find ashampoo(but this is just the player so you dont need it;), any free media players(MPC HC). You dont need any drivers for it - if you are on Windows Vista and above

    wonder if this would work on my 3D TV, i.e , plug it into a USB slot on back of TV and playback via the TV

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    A TV should be able to read a data disk with media files on it and play those, however I doubt any TV on the market possesses the software/codecs required to play back an actual bluray movie (which seems to be what what Deep Thought is wondering?), as manufacturers have to pay royalties to the bluray consortium for each device.
