AnyDVD decodes on the fly (or so I understand), so if a user is running that, could they point XBMC to this in order to play a bluray without an intermittent ripping stage?

Blu-Ray ISO support now works in master, I verified it myself. I haven't yet tried a disc (Or an mounted ISO) but I imagine it would work as well.

EDIT: I tried a disc, and while it won't automatically play when inserted, it will if you navigate to the disc and play the index.bdmv file manually. Also the "Play disc" button doesn't seem to know that the disc is there.

Is there any chance for support menus in a near future or du you have to wait for libbluray supports it? I assume that libbluray is what you are going to use from now on?

Unless XBMC becomes a PayWare, answer is NO!

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...

Doesn't just reading an encrypted DVD (nevermind blu-ray) require a license? Yet xbmc does that just fine (well, minus "Toy Story 3" anyway).
