It means that BR playback on linux is closer, for example windows has a protected content layer that passes the content from the player to the screen, with this key you could build something like that for windows. Mmmm, just out of curiosity (as I don't own a BD player neither have Blu- ray discs to play) but, do you mean there is currently no way to play Blu- ray in Linux? :-?

I'm not interested in cracking protection, I just want to watch the movie, and do it under Debian, not Win/OS X/etc. (I have some old HD-DVD discs I would like to watch, as well. My optical drive can read those discs. The AACS crack works here, but the discs are not ISO standard, or at least they are not *nix-friendly. They can only be read under root, but VLC won't run as root. It's catch-22. Any advice?) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
