not at the moment. F/OSS players are nearly here, though: * AACS is well understood. There is no known crack for it, though: it is based on solid crypto. At this point it is a cat-and-mouse game between content providers revoking keys and the community finding new ones. * BD+ was only recently reverse engineered. There is a reference virtual machine written in Java that produces the xor table used to recover AACS-stripped video. No player to my knownedge currently implements BD+ support. * Even if AACS and BD+ are stripped, no player currently available is capable of parsing the equivalent of "vob" information. You have to read the mpeg transport stream directly from disc, and a whole video may be split across several containers. * mplayer currently requires that the demuxer and other options be explicitly specified, as it is apparently incapable of detecting it automatically. Additionally, even on a very fast machine, you need at least dual cores to render the video at any reasonable framerate. I put this in ~/.mplayer/config: [bluray] profile-desc="Blu-Ray mpeg2 transport stream" demuxer=lavf #ac=ffeac3 #ac=hwac3 fps=24000/1001 fs=true cache=524288 # this option produces video "tearing" # lavdopts=threads=2 # uncomment this for a speedup & quality loss lavdopts=threads=2:fast=true:skiploopfilter=all * you need to put the following line in /etc/sysctl.conf: dev.rtc.max-user-freq = 1024 otherwise you may experience video corruption or tearing. Even with all of this, mplayer can't really render an enjoyable movie. the video freezes every 30 seconds or so, and mplayer reports something along the lines of "too many packets in buffer" after just a few minutes of playback.
