I agree with what everyone else says about MakeMKV rips and MythTV 
playing them.

While the "start playing right away" thing is a feature of sorts, as far 
as I can tell there is no way to access bonus features etc. that are in 
the menus.  Can anyone recommend a way to get to a BD menu if that is 
desired?
