I don't know how the XBMC backend works, but I don't know that you can test a BluRay disk on linux yet. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course, but I don't think XBMC has bluray decryption built in. I believe if you were on windows you could install AnyDVD which would do the decryption in the background. AFAIK there is nothing like that on Linux - but then again, I've never bothered searching for it.
On another note: has anyone checked their GPU usage while using VDPAU? I'd be curious if the more powerful GPUs are "better" at VDPAU than the weaker ones aren't. That is to say, I wonder if there is any merit to having a GeForce 295 vs. a GeForce Go 7700 for H264/VC-1 decryption.
