I'm emerging that now.  I found the USE flag bluray and put in
make.conf.  Is there any other flags that I need to enable?  Maybe some
decoding type thing that isn't obvious? 

There's a file somewhere that contains all the USE flags and their
description.  I can't seem to locate it anymore.  Anyone recall where
that file is?  I thought it was in the tree somewhere but I don't see it.

Thanks for the info.  Going to see what it looks like.  I've never done
anything with a blu-ray before.  I'm totally clueless about them.  It
seems they are very different from a DVD.  It's not just able to stuff
in more data but requires a whole new toolbox to use.  This is gonna be
a learning experience it seems.
