Blu-Ray burner won’t burn
I installed a MCETech 8x Blu-Ray burner in my 2008 Mac Pro. When trying to Share to Blu-Ray from FCP 7, it seems to build the project okay, but when it comes time to burn to disc, the progress bar just gets longer and longer and 20 minutes later nothing seems to change besides the progress bar extending longer (it’s only a 2 minute video). I tried the same with Compressor and got the same result, and then I fired up Encore which I hadn’t used before, but I was hoping it might work, but again the same result. So I opened up the case and discovered that I had the Blu-Ray as the first cable connection instead of at the end of the cable, so I swapped that and got the same result in all apps, then took out the Superdrive altogether and had just the Blu-Ray at the last cable connection and set to Master, and all 3 apps failed again.
Anyone know what the problem is? I’m running Leopard and trying to burn to the 2x BD-RE disc that came with the burner.

Brad,
Did you ever figure out a fix? I’m having the identical problem on virtually the same set of equipment.

No, I didn’t. I’ve had some projects that needed to be addressed, so I’m still running off my Leopard build and haven’t had time to install software on my Snow Leopard install.
For the project that I needed it for last week, I knew that the client was presenting using a PS3, so I was able to instead burn out a slightly higher than blu-ray quality h.264 encoded .mp4 and deliver that on a thumbdrive.
