vlc is able to play DVDs, right? And it wouldn't be able to do so unless there were files available to be able to do so, right?
So why should playing Blu-ray discs be any different?
It's not an issue of "should", but of what "is". DRM evolved in between introduction of DVDs and Bluray. DVDs are only SD. Content owners weren't about to allow HD Bluray content to be easily pirated, thus what Dylan wrote is what is, and enabling BR on Linux is an exponentially bigger PITA than any media gone before. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
