What sort of issues?  As far as I know, Blu-ray uses a VOB? container and H.264 video + PCM/AC3 audio.  MPC should be able to handle the container, and ffdshow should be able to handle all the codecs.

No... BluRay uses the mpeg transport stream it seems. And it can carry MPEG2, H.264 and SMPTE VC-1 (some microsoft codec?) video. As for audio, it carries Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM, and lossless variants of DD and DTS.

So it's probably that CCCP can't decode stuff like VC-1, and some of the audios.

The transport stream.  .M2TS

From what I know about the transport stream, it's designed primarily for boardcasting (TVs) and tapes. It is thus built to be error resilient, to cover for bad signals and corrupt data and whatever that can happen when receiving signals over the air, and when your tape is dirty.

Supposedly, from what I've head from people, transport streams have ridiculous amounts of overhead, like up to 40%, for it's error correction features and such. but then again, I've learnt to not put complete trust in random people I don't know, but even if the overhead is not something massive like 40%, it would still be much larger than for something like VOB, due to the design and purpose of the transport stream.

So don't really know why they use the transport stream format. I also would've expected it to use the program stream format (like VOB). Maybe the Bluray one is special and doesn't have craploads of overhead?
