I'm not surprised at that; I boycotted Blu-Ray a long time ago due to it's
primary use as a DRM enforcement technology* and therefore don't have any
Blu-Ray equipment with which to enhance k3b.

* At the time of recordable media introduction both hard disk and tape
backup were far more cost effective, and since there is no way to generate
a "real" Blu-Ray video disk along the lines of DVDs (players normally
treat commercial and amateur disks very differently) the entire technology
is not much different from some of the old video game console
disks--useless outside their intended DRM-laced roles.
