We don't know yet of iTunes will not be able to play Blu-Ray.
[citation][nom]esquire468[/nom]...and can it play Crysis?[/citation]
No, iTunes will not play Crysis (unless they make a movie out of it). I mean, software playing software? Crazy!
 
[citation][nom]hellwig[/nom]I have the same question. Why does the DVD have to be imported as a video file, why can't the contents of the DVD just be copied over, and played from the harddrive instead of the DVD? Does CSS prevent even the simple reading of the data, or just its playback?[/citation]Because the key to decode that DVD is written to the "lead-in" of the DVD, which is not normally read as data. It's not impossible to copy the lead-in along with the rest of the DVD and write it to a blank DVD, but it requires software and hardware capable of doing so.

Simply copying the encrypted data to the HD doesn't allow playback unless a DVD with the appropriate key is in the drive because that's where the playback software expects to find the key.
