Will we be seeing Blue-Ray playback support in the near future?

It is becoming near mass distribution very soon I would say.  I say this in the sense that MC users tend to be higher end audio / system users so a much higher percentage of MC users will own Blu Ray players.  It must be added, right?  Can it?

I read somewhere that the FFMpeg folks are working on a decoder?  Anyone?

Wait just a moment.  If you buy any standard DVD playback package that includes Blu Ray support can't MC use its decoder just as it does with DVDs?

MC sees a Blueray drive with a Blueray disc as unavailable or no media.

I don't plan to buy a Blu Ray computer drive for quite a while.  We bought our first Blu Ray player only a week ago.  The Denon DVD-2500BTCI transport.  In a few weeks when our theater is done I'll get to hook it up.  I ordered ~10 Blu Ray discs to get us started--many of which focus on high quality 5.1 audio (concerts).

Addition: although I do have some 1080p content from our camcorder I will want to play on our HD sets.  But I can just play it on the computer end...if it can keep up with the resolution.
