[wlug] Blu-ray discs on Linux

Hello all, Having acquired a laptop with a Blu-ray drive and then a Blu-ray disc I had a go at playing the disc with various live Linux versions. The closest was having the disc recognised and opening a player window (VLC iirc) but alas with no sound or vision. Other attempts failed with messages about no AACs being available or being unable to recognise the disc. A cursory survey of various web sources indicates that the best plan is to give up or use Windows. Anyone managed to get anywhere with this in Linux? The disc in question is by the band King Crimson live in Mexico titled Meltdown. Described as NTSC, Zone ABC, LPCM playable in all B-R players and drives. Thanks ~ Ian Y
