Thank you for this information. It seems like it might solve the > 2 Gb / 4 GB file size problems.

DVDs used .VOBS which were 1 GB in size, split into several files -- up to 8.5 GB per disc. But BDR uses UDF 2.5 filesystem which supports 2 TB (?) file sizes. Most blu-ray films have a single large .m2ts file which is over 20 - 40 GiB in size. These aren't playable or viewable by dos port of MPLAYER since there's no UDF driver support or filesize support > 2 GB.
