Blu-Ray burning on the Mac?

[Mgal]

Premiere will burn to Blu-ray on the Mac.

Thanks!

Is everyone finding the disks compatible with the players? i.e. Sony Toshiba etc? There’s such little talk here about it.

I was contacted 3 weeks ago by an Adobe sales rep trying to sell me software. I asked the Blu-Ray question to him in a reply to his email and never got a reply.

Hi, Jerry:

Check out Dave Helmly’s blog on Premiere and Blu-ray. There’s a bunch of information on there.

Hey, Jerry!
How are you, dear friend?

Many BR players (like the Playstation 3) will need a firmware update (unless they are very recent) to handle recordable BR media. But players with newer firmwares seem to handle it well…

I’m doing well, and hope you are too!

I need to investigate replication too… Wonder about what source material the replicator will want.. hopefully something I could make here… no DLT’s around here…

Jerry: I understand that Encore BR authored folders are currently not suitable for replication. At this point, it’s for home-made, small runs.
Also bear in mind that BR replication can cost like a luxury italian car 🙂

Yeah, I ran into a bid for a one menu one play button Blu Ray and replication. They wanted $7,500 US for that encode and master… They were using Sony or Senaris…. I asked how much the setup cost.

50k. They actually want $2500/hr or so…

Well… I thought to myself. I’ve a bay worth that and couldn’t get that for the 3-5 hours it would take to encode and build for replication… The replication itself wasn’t too bad after that though.

Yikes. I’ll bet they are getting it too.
