The best way would be to simply have Mplayer or Xine be able to play a 
blu-ray disk.  I dont think this works now though. Mplayer SVN can play 
.EVO files, but I have had no luck trying to convert blu-ray to EVO.  
There must be some simpler way.  If there were an equivilent to PowerDVD 
in the Linux space, maybe.
Any one else have ideas?  Ways to convert etc....  I own these movies, I 
just want to see them in Myth.  I am even willing to convert in Windows 
to get this done first, then transfer.
