Yes but under Windows through DXVA and Blu-ray software player.
XBMC has no GPU acceleration under Windows only in Live/Linux.
Maybe I'm mistaken but I don't think XBMC can actually play Blu-ray discs ?
For one the discs are encrypted and I tired playing a Blu-ray through XBMC on my Windows box with AnyDVD-HD running in the background and it still wouldn't play it.
I would have assumed from all that XBMC Live running on a Revo cannot play Blu-ray discs unless there is a piece of the puzzle I'm missing.
However you can use MakeMKV to turn the raw Blu-ray into an MKV (no encoding) so its a rather quick process.
