New VLC play BluRay?

I was under the impression VLC always played .mkv which is the typical format of blu ray.

It didn't work for me. It may be worthwhile to look into using the Media Player Classic and trying Shark007's method to play Blu Ray:

The new VLG does, but it is still quite buggy.

From the comments I read following its release, there are quite a few bugs with it. A lot of people are having issues with VLC recognizing the disk properly - some have it working though. I assume it will be fixed in the next couple releases.

Here's what it says on their website, under Input and Devices:

"Experimental support for BluRay discs:
- Menus are deactivated in this release (will come soon).
- AACS and BD+ DRM libraries and keys are not shipped, for legal reasons."

I guess it supports many new devices and BluRay Discs but is still in its experimental stages?
