I went bluray with my latest myth setup and I use makemkv, which creates mkv for
dvd or bluray and work prefect with mythtv. Just make sure you have vdpau
capable card to support the decoding.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Blu-Ray Drives and MythTV
Looking for help from those using Blu-Ray drives:
I have upgraded my BE with a new MB which has no IDE ports; therefore, my DVD
ROM/burner is no longer of any use. I am considering replacing it with a
Blu-Ray burner but am hesitant to spend the extra dollars if I can only use it
for DVDs. I know there has been a lot of activity in 0.24 and pre-0.25 to
support BD but my question is:
Will I be able to play rented Blu-Ray disks through MythTV?
If not, (besides backups) what benefit would I receive by spending the extra
money on a BD burner vs a DVD burner?
