I give very little resource to the VM running AnyDVD..<br>

But I agree... a BD drive is an easier option and much cheaper.<br>
AnyDVD alone is more than $60<br>

"Because it's there!"<br><br>I have a separate Blu-Ray player on the tv, and I rip all my purchased DVDs to mp4 using Handbrake and MakeMKV (I switched from mkv to mp4 because my new iPad + the explayerHD app will hardware-accelerate the videos streaming from my NAS). But the idea of a built-in solution to Myth that could be transparent to the end user is A) really cool and B) would help with the FAF (Friend appreciation factor). This is one of those times I wish I could write code because it seems like a possible solution is within reach.<br>
