The following article in the wiki talks about BluRay and HD-DVD support
in Ubuntu:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD

I was really hoping that Gutsy would have the UDF fix and the newer
version of mplayer/ffmpeg that supports playing back non-encrypted HD-
DVD VC1 encoded content.

Problem summary:

1.  Plug in Xbox 360 HD-DVD player to USB port on gutsy BETA box:
2.  Insert HD-DVD disk.
3.  Receive same error in dmesg I get in feisty:

UDF-fs: minUDFReadRev=250 (max is 201)

Not to harp - but I fail to see how Ubuntu can consider itself a true
alternative to Windows, when it can't even mount a newer type of DVD on
a piece of common and inexpensive hardware that has been available for a
year!  I'm not asking for it to break the AACS for me or do anything
illegal - just mounting the disk and properly playing back VC1 content
that isn't encrypted in totem or mplayer would be sufficient.  All the
pieces are already available, they just need to be put in gutsy before
it ships.

FWIW, trying to playback an unecrypted EVO file in gutsy BETA's totem
yields:

An error occurred - Internal data flow error then crash

Mplayer in gutsy seems to have the vc1 codec available (which is an
improvement over Feisty), but fails saying File doesn't contain the
selected audio or video stream.

Any chance of rectifying these things before release?
