Welcome to the forum. Can't wait until Apple throws in a Blu-ray drive into the Mac Pro. Anyhow, Logitech released the first Mac compatible Blu-ray drive...

Can it play Blu-ray movies? Somewhere on AVS someone posted a link to a site that listed the ATI X1900 as HDCP compliant, and that's what I have in my Mac Pro, but AFAIK, it is not HDCP compliant. Isn't that why they came out with the X1950, to add HDCP?

No Mac video playback software is available as of yet. And don't forget you need an HDCP-compatible monitor if outputting through DVI.

I am hooked into a Samsung HLN437W dlp that is HDCP-compliant, but what of the ATI X1900 in my Mac Pro? Is it HDCP-compliant?

Maybe you can boot in Windows and run that software that checks your hardware?
