I think that at this point this whole thread is getting waaaayyy off the topic. didn't you wanted to read a BD?
jdd No, I don't think that that is what I was asking about.
What I was asking about was being able to PLAY/VIEW a movie which was on a Bd disc.
I can "read" the contents of a Bd disc. That is, I can-
* insert a Bd disc into the drive;
* the system (oS 13.2) will not recognise it and so not mount it;
* but using dolphin I can then mount the Bd disc; and
* using dolphin I can read the contents of the Bd
My problem is that VLC or any of the other video player will play the contents of the Bd.
I am not sure but I thought I read somewhere that Ubuntu has no problems with playing Bd discs. As I said, I am not sure if this is what I read so can anyone confirm this?

Not worth the hassle trying to use Linux to view Blu-Ray discs, Billie. Simply not worth the blood pressure or the angst. I admit that I simply skimmed over the above article and paid scant attention to what is in it but I seem to remember that Ubuntu actually pays for the licence to be able to play Bd discs -- but I may wrong and so you can correct me. But whatever..... it is simply so much better to simply have Windows #7 installed and then the necessary apps to be able to play discs whether they be DVDs or Blu-Rays ('straight' or 3Ds). Fart arsing around in Linux just to be able to view Bds is simply not worth the time just to satisfy the ideology of FOSS anal-retentives. I am all for Linux but at the same time I am pragmatic enough to use something non-linux to get things done.
