The best way would be to simply have Mplayer or Xine be able to play a
blu-ray disk. I dont think this works now though. Mplayer SVN can play
.EVO files, but I have had no luck trying to convert blu-ray to EVO.
There must be some simpler way. If there were an equivilent to PowerDVD
in the Linux space, maybe.
Any one else have ideas? Ways to convert etc.... I own these movies, I
just want to see them in Myth. I am even willing to convert in Windows
to get this done first, then transfer.
