Profile 1.0, Profile 1.1 (BonusView) and Profile 2.0 (BD-Live)

Profile 2.0, also known as BD-Live. The reason it's called BD-Live is that the major difference between profiles 1.1 and 2.0 is that Profile 2.0 requires that the player have an Internet connection, usually via an Ethernet port.

"Please be aware, there are some Blu-ray players which are enabled to stream online movies from places such as Netflix and Amazon Video on Demand. These players are specially configured to work with these services and a standard Profile 2.0 player will not automatically have access to these services - although it is possible to add this functionality via a firmware update."

BonusView (aka Profile 1.1)- (BV)
These titles make use of the dual-stream audio and video decoders found in BonusView capable players to allow for Picture-in-picture type features (such as video commentary) while watching the movie.
BonusView: For fans of supplemental content like director interviews and making-of documentaries, BonusView is a neat feature--even a must-have one. BonusView (at one time referred to as Blu-ray Profile 1.1) lets you play back picture-in-picture content on BonusView-enabled Blu-ray titles. This means players that support BonusView can handle the processing of both a second video stream and a second audio stream. And the latter capability means that the player can perform audio mixing for sound effects generated within the player (such as menu navigation effects) along with the audio sound track of the film.
BD-Live: The other new feature to look for, BD-Live (also referred to as Profile 2.0), may be used to support Internet-connected activities such as interactive gaming and social networking. Players with BD-Live have, in addition to BonusView, an ethernet port for downloading and streaming content via the Internet, and an internal file system for managing that content. Early examples of BD-Live content have been limited (trailer downloads, for example), but studios are prepping more-complex offerings.
Unfortunately, the Blu-ray specification allows manufacturers to choose whether to include BD-Live's minimum requirement of 1GB of storage in the player. Some manufacturers will provide storage inside the player itself, while others will require you to supply a flash memory card or a USB 2.0 drive to accompany the player.
