For the most part I plead ignorance to the protection used with blu-ray discs. Following the link concerning blu-ray playback in the 0.24 release notes, which leads to the wiki page on "High Definition Disk Formats", it says 0.24 will play "A disc protected by AACS MKB version 10 or lower, and not protected by BD+". I think I read elsewhere that most "newer" commercial blu-ray discs are protected with BD+, but at this point at least I'm not sure what "newer" means and whether or not any of the blu-ray discs I already own are protected with BD+ or not. I'm really just trying to get my ducks in a row at this point. I haven't done anything with blu-ray ripping / playback yet. I have an XBox HD-DVD drive and a few titles to go with it. A few years ago when I tried to rip these discs I found the process not worth the effort and gave up. If it is still a similarly tedious / buggy process with blu-ray discs then I probably won't even bother, but I tend to think things are moving in the direction that we will soon be able to play any blu-ray disc, regardless of the protection scheme, within MythTV. I hope I'm right. _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
