[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 1027366, member: 89124"] Unfortunately, unless Mr. Jobs makes a major change in his way of handling things, there is a good chance it will be a while before we see BluRay video player support directly in OSX - I say this because Apple doesn't really like competing technologies, and BluRay directly competes with their HD iTunes sales. Another thing to consider, right now, only QuicktimeX can directly use the GPU for H.264 video decoding - which makes for a problem for playing many HD files and bluray discs as you now need to use the CPU heavily for playback - so unless they make it easy for third parties to use the GPU for playback purposes, it will be a while before we see third party software supporting GPU for playback (assuming they would want to take the time to do it considering you can't buy a Mac currently with a bluray drive built in) [/QUOTE]
