Question

You can't buy a mac with a blu-ray device in it, but there are external USB blu-ray recorders and readers available.

Is it possible to use (Backup files to BD-R discs and watch blu-ray movies) an external Blu-Ray recorder on a Mac?

If it is not possible in OS X natively, is it possible from a virtual machine?

Answer 1

Yes, it looks like you can: http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=11218
