Fair use isn't the issue, if it was there would be no problem, since we are
working towards "interoperability".
The DMCA would be the problem, as I understand it there is practically NO
legal reason to break the encryption on a Blu-Ray.
If we could find something on a BR that did not require breaking any sort of
protection feature, that should be OK. I for one do not feel comfortable with
Blu-Ray rips unless I am sure it's legal, or at least I don't feel
comfortable discussing it here :-)
As Nick R. pointed out, we probably want something that uses as many of the
features of h264 as possible, a real "torture test" for an h264 decoder.
