The question for the project admins is: Do you want to develop it as part of the libbluray project or should we open a separate project for the DirectShow wrapper (like ffdshow for ffmpeg, which are also separate)?

I wouldn't be against having it in the libbluray repository.  Seems like a good enough fit.  An who knows, once you
start fiddling with the code base, maybe you'll become another core library contributor.  hpi seems to be the only one
doing anything these days, so we could use the help ;)
