Blu-Ray Authoring Software for Macs

Hello,
I've recently burned Blu-Ray discs using Toast Titanium 10 Pro, and have been very impressed by the HD playback quality when played on my PS3. (My three-year-old Sharp Blu-Ray player refuses to play ball, but newer machines at my local electronics store play them beautifully, so I'm guessing the older machines struggle with home-authored discs).
I'd like to know whether there are any good quality Blu-Ray authoring solutions for Mac users. The v. basic menu facility on Toast is a bit cruddy, and tends to let a well made Hd/Blu-Ray film down quite badly. Can anybody suggest something?

Short answer: no.

DVD Studio Pro SHOULD be the authoring suite for Blu-Ray but until Apple officially supports the standard, DVDSP will never see it.

Oops I stand corrected: Adobe Encore CS5 included with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 may be what you want since it claims to be able to author blu-ray discs! I need to look into this myself some more...

not an answer to your original question, but .. :

for less the price of FC/pro or Encore, you get a wide range of MediaPlayers.
e.g. the Western Digital TV HD allows to connect any Mac-formatted hard-drive (or fat32 or ntfs), and as with iTunes 'flip' through any given content, as your HiDef.mov ..

for 99$ a nice alternative.

to have wireless access from a PS3 to your iTunes content, there's MediaLink, 20$ ..

to transfer my home-brewn movie projects from my Mac to my PS3, I'm using a usb-mem-stick for 9.99 .. 😀

.. just to mention that ..
