Q: Best bit rate for blu rays with Toast 11
I'm burning a ProRes422 (uncompressed @ 18GB) movie to blu-ray using Toast 11 Titanium. The maximum bit rate is 9.0 Mbps. Is this sufficient? It seems very low...
Compressor has never worked properly with burning a blu-ray (I know there are more custom settings). I would use this but have had no luck, the blu-ray never burns properly only had luck with Toast.

You may be looking at the maximum bit rate for DVD.
I have Toast 10 and the max bit rate for DVD is 9.0 Mbps.
The max bit rate for Blu-ray is 26 Mbps.
For what it is worth, I set it to automatic and best and set to Video Format MPEG-4 AVC and not MPEG-2.
I set the MPEG-4 AVC in Custom and then select Automatic.
