Meh, I hate the previews forced on a viewer in many DVD/BD's and 90% of the time the commentary & extras are 2nd rate filler at best. Rip to mkv and strip all that out. It's like watching car ads at the theater after paying for the popcorn - thanks but no thanks.

The far superior option, if possible in the future, would be to have the XBMC OSD do the actually useful things that the BD menu does.
eg chapter list, extras list etc.
I don't want to push play twice.

@patsequin - you would have to re-rip. If you want the menu stuff you're best to rip the whole thing, meaning you'll need index.bdmv and the streams directory. MKV supports chapters, and MKVMerge has a chapter tool. There are several third-party apps that can help you get the chapters.
For menu support you can either buy TMT or wait for FFMpeg to build in support as XBMC uses that library for menus. It's not something XBMC code does. The menu system for BD is still in a state of flux - i.e. even some of the dedicated software players like TMT and even bluray players need frequent updates to handle new movies and their menus. When it settles down a bit I'm sure you'll see support via FFMpeg.

Yeah it's cool but I live without it. Just being able to hit the movie and start watching it without extra crap is so nice.
