This is a great thread - I showed a bunch of friends Golden Compass on blu-ray on 42" plasma and nobody commented how amazing it looked - they just took it for granted -
when i told them it was bluray i just got a blank look - I must agree with those who are saying that bluray hasn't gone mass-appeal yet - most people are getting Sky HD and thats it - - the only people i know who know and watch bluray are the people who like technology gadgets ! Real strange..... |

So this is a burner? looks like you cant author anything but you could out put your program to this disc from final cut and keep it in HD quality, of course you would have to have someone else author it for you for distribution it would not work with dvd studio pro.

Toast would be great if it had a authoring program like dvd studio pro but it dose not so it is not a viable solution at this time in my opinion, its a solution but not a good one.

Here’s an external burner that’s slower than the FastMac but at least it carries an attractive price of $289.
AMEX | Portable Blu-ray Super Multi Drive for New MacBook These Blu-ray burners wont obviously work with Final Cut Pro but it will work with Adobe’s CS3 and soon to be released CS4. |

Still not bad considering how portable it is. It would have been a steal if it were at least a 4x. |

Use DVD Studio Pro to create an HD DVD project. When finished use the Build function to create the data folder. Import that data folder into Toast and burn the disc. If this doesn't work, please someone correct me.

No one asking for BD?
1) Do you offer BD delivery? Does your competition?
2) Would you like to offer pro looking menus like the ones on DVD SP? 3) How may HDTVs sold before the HD transition "forced" people buy to HDTVs? 4) Given the opportunity to make a few more bucks offering HD delivery of your wonderfull HD footage would you do that? I can't see why anyone would have any serious reason to defend apple's position here. Let's have a poll and ask what would you pay for an apple BD solution? $500 for a BD burner? FCS 3 $500 upgrade? I would in a minute and think many others here would too. Would apple make money at those prices, I think so. SO what is the flippin issue. |

Shaun, you can BootCamp your mac and attach a BD drive (likely external). Then you're just down to CS4 (and you'll need a Windows license to run under BootCamp). If you get a TLP (Volume Licensing) license you get both Win and Mac codes per license and you can run either one on your Mac.
Regarding Adobe licensing; I can only speak for my region here, but terms are pretty much the same globally (unlike pricing). Adobe Transactional Licensing Program has dropped the minimum number of 'points' to qualify for TLP to 1, essentially making it available for single licenses. With TLP maintenance options also become available, making it easy to keep current. Upgrades are also available in TLP, of course.
