CS 5.5 Encore and Mac compatible blu ray burner
Hello. I have a new imac and Adobe CS 5.5 Production Premium and am looking for a reliable blu ray burner. I’d like to keep the cost under $200, but speed isn’t a major concern for me. Does anyone have any recommendations or experience using Encore to burn blu rays on a mac? I need to design menus, so I can’t just use toast.
I have found some recommendations for mac-compatible blu ray burners, such as OWC blu ray burners (https://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MRF8BDSD12X/), however I haven’t found anything that says what would work best with Adobe Encore.
I’ve read that this lacie should work well, but is outside of my budget:

Thanks so much for your help!

I purchased the LG 12x Blu-Ray burner. Don’t let the windows compatable throw you, it works fine with Mac. I use it with my MacPro, MacBook Pro and the IMac at my church. I only used Verbatim and Sony Blu-Ray disk.
$150.00 at your local computer store.

Thanks so much! I saw that the LG 6x works with macs as well, so yours looks like a great choice.

Hi Mark,
May I ask what speeds you are getting with encore BluRay burning? I have the Sony BD205 and can only get 1x burn speeds from Encore. I have used Verbatim 2x and 4x BluRay media to no effect.CrippleBook Pro 2.3Ghz i7, 8GB ram, SLeopard 10.6.8, FCPStudio 3, QT 7

Hi Erik,
I’m unable to override the Blu- Ray 1x burn speed.

I just ordered a Pioneer burner from Mac Sales. I’ll let you know how it works.

Did you get a BluRay burn speed yet? I just got the replacement drive from Videoguys…no dice exactly the same, not recognized over the eSata port and only 1x burn speed.

The drive that on your link is Esata, As far as I know, macs dont have this type of connectivity, or am I wrong?

The drive is Esata and USB.
