Q: How to preview .img blu-ray files generated by Compressor?
I'm using Lion 10.7.2 on a MacBook Pro.
I successfully used Compressor 4 to encode and then Create DVD (a blu-ray disc) to a .img file. Now that I have the file, but no Blu-Ray discs or machine to playback for testing, I'd like to find a way to preview the contents of the disc before I ship the .img file to a duplicator service and then to the client. Any options for playback? I've looked into VLC capability, but am not coming up with clear answers for desktop playback of a blu-ray disc image.
Part of my concern wanting to preview it is that the small preview area for Menu Templates within Compressor, before exporting, is too small to really see what you're doing and what menu labels look like. It lets you set a background image, and I can see the small preview window update, but I can't read the text. Bad UI design if you ask me. Any rate, any help on blu-ray image playback on desktop would be helpful.
Thanks,
Chris.
