How do I set up a blu ray player in MP?
I like to keep my MP install as default (aka boiler plate) as possible.
Does MP natively support Blu Ray or is it a custom add-on?
I searched and found some plugins and Forum threads so I know it can work.
However I could not find it in the wiki manual.
I am looking for the 'best practice' MP configuration to support my internal LG blu ray player.

I read that the HDCP DRM can be an issue with video cards. My video card has DVI output which connects to the TVs HDMI input. Will this HW set up work?

LG UH08LS10
Blu-ray Disc Combo Drive - BD-ROM 8X, DVD+RW 8x, DVD-RW 6X, DVD-ROM 16X, CD-R 48X, CD-RW 24X, Lightscribe
It comes with a disk which presumably includes a Blue ray software player on it.
