Support for Blu-ray Playback on Mac OS X: Far from Being There

As you might know, we have an insider source following the discussion between Apple and the AA CS LA regarding royalties for adding support for Blu-ray playback in Mac OS X. While discussion started in 2007, this source just let us know that there is currently not even the beginning of an agreement between both parties, and Apple might even have decided to drop the idea of bringing support for BD in Mac OS X. If we should summarize the last information provide by this source, the current question is not when this support will be implemented, but will this support be implemented at all.

Retrospect, this is maybe not a huge issue, as most computers do NOT feature a BD drive, and current and future online video services/stores will deliver a file that every customers would be able to store on a HD. All those points might have push Apple to think twice about BD playback on Mac OS X.
