Blu Ray through My Movies on Extender?

I'm not sure whether this is a far fetched idea or not, but I've noticed on VMC when a DVD is in the drive, My Movies will display that DVD in it's interface allowing you to select and watch it.

So, my idea is- if you have an extender, say a Linksys DMA2100 with no DVD drive and you have setup My Movies to work with the extender, and if you have a DVD in the drive of the VMC host machine, will that DVD show up in My Movies on the extender, thus allowing you to watch it?

If so, then theoretically when Blu Ray is supported by VMC, you could watch a Blu Ray disc from your VMC on the extender in HD glory. The DMA2200 has a DVD drive of course, but is only an upscaling SD one.

Apologies if this has been asked before or is a silly queston.

Danimal.
