Any bluray released in the past 2 years will be BD+

it's not all hopeless with tools like MakeMKV or AnyDVD-HD.
I use the later in a windows 7 VM and export the decyrpted image and
play it from mythtv.

While it sounds complicated, it really isn't.. And from the time I
insert a bluray to the time I can play it and see the movie starting,
it takes about 12-15s...
Compare that with my dedicated panasonic BD player that will take well
over 90s to play most title.. and it's a fast one at that !
