Can anyone please point me into the right direction how to get this working for Ubuntu with Dharma? And then I mean without the risk of distroying a (almost) perfectly working HTPC.
thanks

This is only possible with pre eden, not with dharma! Greetings

I recently switched from the nightly builds to the beta 1 of Eden and retried BluRay ISO playback.
It works very well. I'm using a MacMini (DVI TO HDMI output and toslink for sound) so I cannot get DTS-HD-MA and just DTS but it's a limitation from the macMini and OSX Lion.
Anyway I used DVDFab BluRay Copy to rip blurays to ISO. I did not removed any files so it's perfect clone of the original without protection. I end up with a 47 gb file and can start to play the movie directly from the Movies section of XBMC.
As stated in the fist post there are some small and bigger limitation :
- no menus -> no bonus
- more annoying, XBMC does not seems to handle video angles in blurays. This can be an issue with some movies as angles are often used to show localized part of the movies : example : there is an English angle in "stars war ep II" that display the famous yellow moving title at the beginning of the movie. There are also a French, Italian and German... Angles that display the same movie but with appropriate titles in other languages.
Many anim movies are using angles to display localized content. Example : Wall-e, multiple angles, one for each languages.
- as there is no menu - it's sometimes very very hard to find the correct subtitle in some movies. Stars war again : there are multiple subtitles available for each language and no way to differentiate them (you have 4 to 5 diffrents subtitle in French : normal, forced, comments from Lucas, for people with hearing disease... And they all appear as "French 1/17, French 6/17). Same thing for English, Italian...
By today BluRay support in XBMC is somewhat very basic but it works well.
Thanks to all the XBMC team for this amazing software.

Just to be clear, Blu-Ray ISO support does not introduce any additional audio format or bitstreaming support. The ONLY thing it does, is parse the Blu-Ray .iso file and play what it assumes is the main feature. There is no menu support, there is no angle support, there is no DTS-MA or Dolby TrueHD support other than what XBMC already supports.
If you're concerned about audio, bistreaming and codec support, you need to follow the AudioEngine project. This will not be part of Eden, but will be part of Frodo (XBMC's 2012 cycle release).

Is UDF 2.5 required for playing a BD iso file with xbmc? I used mkisofs, which creates only an UDF 2.0 iso file and it didn't play in xbmc, while all the files of the mounted iso file looked good for me. I can also start the main movie file manually and it plays.
I'm on Windows 7.
