Blu Ray
Since the format wars seems to be drawing to a close, I was considering getting a Blu Ray drive.
My questions:
1) Are the drivers for Blu Ray drives already in the newest Kernel?
2) Can VLC or mplayer play Blu Ray discs yet?
3) Can you back up Blu Ray discs with any tools like k9copy yet?

I know very little about Blu-Ray, but regarding question #3, dvd+rw-tools supports it, and you can use K3b and Nautilus CD Burner as front-ends that will work with it, but I'm not sure about other front-ends.

To my knowledge Linux was the first system to support Blu-Ray. It has been in the kernel a good while now. I think K3b has BluRay support coming. The trick is that I doubt the films will play as they are encrypted and there has been only slight success in reversing this encryption.
Perhaps LinDVD/PowerDVD supports BluRay?
