[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 324773, member: 10858"] There are Cyberlink, Arcsoft... but they have chosen to limit the access to their filter for their own applications only. This is most likely done because otherwise we would have a way to make copies of blu-ray video & audio streams, wich is something that movie industry doesnt really want. So in the end there will most likely newer be a "free" directshow based blu-ray navigator filter for 3rd parties to be used. Maybe later when directshow is not used anymore and all applications are using media foundation (wich should provide tools for protected video and audio paths). So, there wont most likely be any way for MP to play blu-ray disks natively. You should send your thanks to the movie industry... As you can see copying HD movies is not affected, its already possible. So what did movie industry won? Nothing I would say, only pissed some HTPC users in the face (of cource from their marketing perspectice its non-significant user base so they just dont care). [/QUOTE]
