Well - - - I've never tried to watch a movie I just use mine for burning and reading CD roms, DVD roms and Blueray roms so there is some support!
My assumption (perhaps incorrect) is that most people see "BluRay" and think "I can play movies." I should perhaps have been clearer: BluRay support in Linux appears to be pretty good so long as you're not dealing with DRM, at which point it becomes pretty much non-existent. -- Giles http://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com
