In my long quest of being able to playback bluray on either linux or
my mac mini (without HDCP) ; I tried that. And unfortunately this
never worked properly even using gigabit networking.

Windows share over AnyDVD has shocking performance and the image would
stutter greatly.

I had better luck exporting the disk using iSCSI, but it's an absolute
pain to set up (especially on Linux).

In the end I just gave up and reboot my PC using windows (and I
ditched the mac mini , with intel GMA950)
