Users / kubuntu + wine + powerdvd ultra
August 21, 2007, 05:19:25 AM
i've looked through the forum and this question hasn't been addressed.

because my htpc drive is in for replacement, i decided to play around with linuxmce with the hope that i can get my lite-on lh-2b1s (blu-ray) to work under linux by using wine.

tonight i installed lmce 0704, but not yet configured it, and updated the video driver for my sapphire x1600 pro hdmi card.

before proceeding, is the linux + wine + powerdvd ultra + anydvd solution worth attacking?  has anyone tried this? the lack of blu-ray support--that is just insert the disk and play without ripping the disk first--is the only reason i've stayed away from linux(mce).

thanks,
greg

though i'll probably not use linux mce on my htpc (i view blu-ray movies), i began downloading/sharing the torrent yesterday.  i usually keep my computer up 24/7.  eventually i'd like to set-up another machine to run lmce.
