Bluray dvd drive via USB... will it work ?

I post the log at:

Today I only have the mouse and external USB DVD player plugged in (not using the html remote). After turning on debugging, this log records:

1. Reboot,
2. go to video -> files -> files
3. Right click on movie title
4. Select Play disc
5. Wait short time (longer time before was not helpful).
6. Select Play
7. Wait longer.
8. scp xbian@192.168.0.100:.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log .

One thing I noticed today was that the first two times I did this today I did see the
the working circle start up and then frieze, start up and then frieze again. I don't know how many times it did this (maybe 4-8 times) but then it stopped dead and never came to life again. I am thinking that for the posted log the working message was only active one time.

The mouse was not active after I selected Play. But even though the GUI was frozen I could scp to xbian and later logged on via ssh.

I was able to play a video (although I only watched a few minutes) that had been transcoded to an USB external hard drive, so the USB port does seem to be working, although I guess that would be at a lower bit rate.
