You need to download the new udf 2.5 driver and replace the udf driver
in the kernel.  http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-udf is where the
driver can be found.  

Ubuntu forums have some details on how to do it as well - just don't
have the url available.  

Once you have modprobed the udf 2.5 driver, you should be able to mount
the blu-ray disk same was as a DVD.  I haven't tried Anydvd on wine, but
that would be interesting.  I would really like to be able to utilize
the blu-ray menu on the disks since a lot of the benefits of a blu-ray
is the extra content as well.  You can get it off the disc using Anydvd
but not the same.  Hopefully one day...
