HD-DVD use HDi standard for menu. It's not HDMV. I doubt libbluray developers will make an interest to port an already dead technology

I run Ubuntu 10.4. For my bluray movies I use dvdfab to strip off the DRM. Then I copy the AVCHD Video file into my movies directory on my hard drive. I scrape it with Ember MM and xbmc plays it beautifully. I don't get the disc menus and stuff but that's fine. I prefer to have just the movie anyway.

I haven't tested it yet, so i don't know how well it will play my Blu-ray discs or ISO images.
Is there going to be implemented blu-ray disc and blu-ray iso images playback support in XBMC in the future?

So it's not of any help as virtually all releases are drm'd in one format of another. If you search the forum, you will find plenty of posts explaining the why/why not support for native bluray.

Reading BluRay menus require acquiring a license...
so this costs money....
applications like POWERDVD & TotalMedia Theatre
do support BluRay Menus since they bought the license...
