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?
