Blu_ray authoring options for Mac Pro with FCP7???
I’m looking for the ability to burn Blu-Ray DVDs inside my Mac Pro Desktop once I finish editing in FCP7, and i found this web site:

Has anyone used this Blu-ray burner? I understand DVD Studio Pro is not Blu-Ray compatible. I was told I would have to use Adobe Encore or Roxio Toast. Is this correct?

I also found this blu-ray burner. Would this be better?

we use the OWC Blu-ray burner (which is Panasonic)and it has worked great. We use BR to archive data, media, projects etc. To burn a Blu-ray we use Compressor to make Blu-ray H.264 files (make sure the settings are 1080 – for some reason defaults to 720) and either use Encore or take the files from Compressor and dump them into Toast Titanium to make a play only disc.

I just got the digistor, which uses Panasonic drives, they are small and bus powered so they travel nicely. They are reasonable priced.

They are only 6x drives but at this time that is all the media will handle anyway, at least the media I get.Also if you have the new FCS (3) (2009) with Compressor 3.5 you can make BluRay disc. They are simple DVD like menus but your footage is HD and plays on most BluRay players.

It has worked great for me for Blu-Ray burning from Toast 10 (w BD Plug-in).
It has not, however, performed well for reading and writing CD-R and DVD-R in my experience. 50% fail rate… awful. Never been a real issue for me as I still have the original SuperDrive installed and having learned the hard way, use that for all non-BD stuff.
