[MPlayer-users] Blu-Ray

That's what I'd want to do, but then, in order to dump the media, mplayer 
needs to be able to decode/decrypt it as required.

I'm sorely aware. I spent much of the latter half of last year creating an 
application to allow some clients of mine to play back DVDs in a 
professional-looking way, in a movie-theatre environment. Trying to present 
all the options regarding title, language and subtitle selection to a lay 
audience, with sufficient flexibility, was difficult.

But in the end, the way I have to make it work is to save the target title 
onto hard disk then play back from there later, so all the issues with 
title/angle/subpicture/audio selection are sorted out ahead of time.
