Is it possible to read Bluray disks, via a network share, on my Vista machine FROM my XP machine? The drive is mounted in the XP box. If possible, would bandwidth be limiting?

I've never tried Bluray but I remember DVD working along tme ago. It st-st-stured. BUT I think that was back in the 10 base T days.
I'm interested to see if this would work too.

Regarding SD DVD, I have had no problem but last night/today I was able to have the dual format drive recognized and mounted as a local drive on my client (Vista). PDVD8 sees the mounted drive as local and I can play HDDVD/Bluray via ethernet. I still need to check performance, etc. tomorrow. The solution for me was a free client software (Starport) and server package (Starwind -not sure yet if it is free-may time out as a trial). So far, so good!

I have loaded DVD ISO files on the network into a local Daemon Tools PC and played them just fine. I wonder if the same can be done for more elaborate ISO files.
