Bug Description
The following article in the wiki talks about BluRay and HD-DVD support in Ubuntu:
https:/
I was really hoping that Gutsy would have the UDF fix and the newer version of mplayer/ffmpeg that supports playing back non-encrypted HD-DVD VC1 encoded content.
Problem summary:
1. Plug in Xbox 360 HD-DVD player to USB port on gutsy BETA box:
2. Insert HD-DVD disk.
3. Receive same error in dmesg I get in feisty:
UDF-fs: minUDFReadRev=250 (max is 201)
Not to harp - but I fail to see how Ubuntu can consider itself a true alternative to Windows, when it can't even mount a newer type of DVD on a piece of common and inexpensive hardware that has been available for a year! I'm not asking for it to break the AACS for me or do anything illegal - just mounting the disk and properly playing back VC1 content that isn't encrypted in totem or mplayer would be sufficient. All the pieces are already available, they just need to be put in gutsy before it ships.
FWIW, trying to playback an unecrypted EVO file in gutsy BETA's totem yields:
An error occurred - Internal data flow error then crash
Mplayer in gutsy seems to have the vc1 codec available (which is an improvement over Feisty), but fails saying File doesn't contain the selected audio or video stream.
Any chance of rectifying these things before release?

Here is a UDF patch that seems to compile and work against the latest gutsy GIT kernel sources:
