Mac DVD/Blu-ray Authoring?
Hey, everyone.
I’m an indie filmmaker and I still need to create DVDs and Blu-ray discs with menus and chapters.
Since Apple and Adobe have dropped their authoring applications, what would you recommend for the Mac? I’ve seen some inexpensive apps that have built-in buttons, built-in menu backgrounds, no chapters. I need the custom menu ability with custom buttons and chapters.
Thanks!

I still use Encore CS6 which I believe can still be downloaded via CC. I Installed 2 Bluray burners in my Mac Pro. With a combo of using Photoshop and After Effects I have been able to create some impressive Bluray discs!

I’ve read that it is not available on CC anymore. They axed it.

Hi Scott – Up until (apparently VERY) recently, you could still download Premiere CS6, which included Encore as part of the installer. I did it just a few weeks ago without any problems. I would talk to Adobe and see if they will still let you download it as part of a CC subscription. This will probably be your best bet for what you are looking for.

best advice would be to install a bootcamp and then EasyBD…

so you would have all options to create professional working BDs, but there´s also a learning-curve.

I encode and burn BD’s in Titanium Toast Pro and they look great. I use a stand alone Lacie BD burner through a MacPro. I don’t need menus and chapters but I’m sure that I’ve seen reference to these functions in Toast.
