I note software like POWERDVD allows owned blue-ray discs to be played. I am not sure about which software I should be investing my time into :) > > Power DVD, all the way.... Your time invested notwithstanding (cause I > really couldn't care less), *our* time invested would be much better off. Of course if someone is using Windows anyway _and_ really wants to use MPlayer _and_ does not care about the menus and stuff at all, slysoft does has software to remove the copy protection. For HD-DVD there should also be some free software that can remove the protection for most disks. I wouldn't consider any solution worth my time (and I would include PowerDVD and actually BlueRay in general in the solutions not worth my time - just for fun I tried a PowerDVD demo to test GPU acceleration - with truly horrible results (completely messed up colours)).
