Creating a BD-Video

[Kaitian]

I'm an employee for a certain school organization in their AV Productions department and we just started using Blu-ray not so long ago for basic storage. Now our video department wants to be able to make Blu-ray video discs with our equipment that we've been normally using for storage in the first place.

The problem is basically this. We've been using Nero Vision to try and create a Blu-ray video out of this but it just "hangs". Despite our best efforts and the lack of information from Nero's site regarding the "hanging", we're skipping past this regarding trying to get this to work with making Blu-ray video's.

The solution we're trying to look for is to be able to take our 1920x1080 video and throw it onto a Blu-ray discs either 25GB or 50GB but what software is recommendable to do this? A great boon would be to have a software that works on both the PC and Apple equipments that we have here. Our video department works with Apple's and have their finished products exported in Quicktime as well as DVD but we'd like to go to Blu-ray at some point but not jump in it after Blu-ray becomes common.

Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.
