I have run blue ray movies on my windows machine using a really old amd 4200
and nvidia 8500 graphics card just fine. off the drive that is, the machine
does have issues playing back ripped/trancoded blue ray movies.
not sure if this relates at all to linux as I havent tried. but its a data point.

though this weekend I will be trying it out on my linux machine, at least
if the doom9 article is available. was slashdotted when I tried earlier.
