Is anyone burning home movies on BD yet (with mac)?

[arrowem]

Hi, I finally converted everything to HD....camcorder, ps3 (soon to be a p1200) ,OWC blu ray burner, HDTV, and a souped up iMac, and yet I cannot seem to find any software to help me burn my home movies to blu ray. Anyone else solve this problem ?
Thanks,Jason

Dont think there is any for Mac

I would expect the new version 'DVD Studio Pro 4' to support blu-ray. At least Compressor 3 is mentioned to support it:

http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/compressor/

'Use Compressor 3 to create files for delivery on iPod, Apple TV, the web, DVD, mobile phones, and next-generation Blu-ray and HD DVD discs. '

But maybe Phloyd has some more info from over at NAB?

Hi folks,

I am facing the same problem....cant see the way out, unless I do authoring on PC...
I am about getting a PC and install DVDit Pro, that can do the blu ray authoring. The movies would be edited in FCP, output files transferred to PC, authoring, making a disk image of the authored file, back to Mac and burn there with Toast 8.

Does this make sense (ok, apart from being a hassle) and would it promise working result?

Any idea?

I believe you can use the latest Toast Titanium since it support Blu-Ray. However, I don't believe you can encode a 1920x1080 video through it just yet.

Though there is the possibility you can encode a 1080p DIVX file and put it onto a Blu-Ray disc and play it in the players that can read DIVX files.

It should be possible since it's a disk image.

That might write the BD folder but it wont author.

Apparently DVDSTudio PRO 4 is unchanged which means no Blu Ray. They have HD DVD anyway, can't see them adding BD in any hurry, just like DVDit PRO wont be adding HDDVD soon.

That's why I said to make sure the Blu-Ray player can play DIVX files for now till they add support to author Blu-Ray discs.
