I think you have to run software to decrypt the DVD on the fly and then |
13 |
have mplayer read the stream. |
14 |
The decryption keys to older bluray titles are available but newer ones |
15 |
might need to be decrypted (rip the movie to your harddrive). |
16 |
It is definitely not easy right now but a lot of titles are being cracked |
17 |
everyday. |
18 |
I would avoid bluray until it gets easier to play. |

Why would you buy an HD-DVD reader? |
21 |
That format is dead and there won't be any new titles. |
