BlueRay BD9 disc in DVDsp or how to on a mac?

I've successfully made HD DVD's using a standard DVD-R & DVD+R DL in DVDSP. They play great and it's a great way to distribute the material for thoses with HD DVD players. I believe it is called the 3xDVD format (it spins at 3x normal dvd speed).

BlueRay has a format called BD9 (meaning a DL disc) which allows the same thing - creating a BlueRay HD disc with non blueray burners on standard DVD-r/+r/dl media. The trade off in both is that it can not hold as much data - usualy about 60 miniutes max depending on bitrate.

I found this link quite helpful:

Question now is how do i do a BD9 disc on a Mac? The avsforum.com explains how to do it on a PC, but what about a Mac. Since apple is in the Blue_ray camp will it simply be added to DVDSP5? Any solutions in the meantime - cause it looks as though it will be Blue_ray from now on and I've got some HD home movies to distribute.

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Question still is is there software that will create a BD9 disc on a Mac using DVD-r/DVD+r media on a dvd burner (not BlueRay).

The link was used to illustrate the HD-DVD creation process on a Mac using dvd-r media and a dvd burner(not a HD-DVD burner) in DVDSP. I know it wasn't for BlueRay - hence the question.
