It definitely does not support BluRay and it does not include work arounds for the various firmware bugs in the drives you find in the field. cdrecord gives you all you need for serious CD/DVD/BluRay media support and you need cdrtools anyway in order to get mkisofs. Why should FreeBSD not by default include a technology that is available since 7 years?
