So today i finally decided to make the change from windows vista to Linux mint 8 on my notebook , it is my first linux but i know that it isnt like windows i know its far beyond windows .
My Notebook Specs
HP Pavillion DV7 2145eg
Intel quadcore 2,00 Ghz
Blue-Ray Combo drive
4 gb ram
1 TB HDD
Onboard sound
ATI Mobility HD 4650
Now the Question how do i get W.I.N.E and Blu Ray to work , when using the Live CD the system already aknowledged my Drive as a blu Ray Drive but it isnt reading the Blu Rays .
The not working blu Ray drive was one point why i tried the change to Linux since it wasn rly working when using Vista -.-
Mint 8/ Blu-Ray and W.I.N.E

More than likely it's not going to happen. Blu-Rays don't play in virtual machines on purpose. The Virtual machine breaks HDCP. An outside shot would be to try Any DVD HD in wine. Even if you got it to work I'm not sure how watchable it would be.

Oh a Misunderstanding sry , i want to get Blu ray to work on Linux but not with W.I.N.E , to get WINE to work was a second question not both combined .
Also again did Blu Rays work on Linux Mint 8 ? when yes how !
an how do i install W.I.N.E for Newbies since i didnt found a Version wich says that that "Helena" is supported

[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

There is as of yet no easy way to play protected Blu-Ray movies on Linux. It can be done, but it's a pain in the butt and it doesn't always work. It's really not worth the hassle in my experience, it's easier to just use a standalone Blu-Ray player or a PS3.katekyou wrote:Oh a Misunderstanding sry , i want to get Blu ray to work on Linux but not with W.I.N.E , to get WINE to work was a second question not both combined .

I have no experience with WINE, so I can offer no advice about it.
