How-to watch Blu-Ray movies in OSX
So you have a mac and you have a Blu-Ray drive. But you can't figure out how to get them to work with each other. Well unfortunately for us sad folks Apple has not been very supportive of the Blu-Ray platform for what ever reason. Fortunately for us though we have people out there in the open source and hacking community that are really smart and have made it possible. Unfortunately it's not as easy as inserting your disc and pressing play. But it can be done and it isn't all that hard.
