Q: Wedding blu-ray discs

I am getting back in to doing wedding videography and want to upgrade to HD. I have the equipment now I need the software. What is the best way to burn a blu-ray disc? I will need to have nice menus for the different videos. I have FCStudio with DVDSP. Adobe Encore is rather expensive for me right now. Is that the only way or is there a cheaper option? Can I build the menu in DVDSP, build it, and burn with Toast? Thanks in advance!

Intel, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

You cannot design the menu's in DVD SP, and then burn it with Toast or Encore. Doesn't work that way. If you need menu's, then you need to find BluRay authoring software that does that. OLD Encore will do that. Not sure about Toast.

Toast will do it, but the menu options are pretty dismal and not very customizable.

Is there something better than toast but not as expensive as Encore?

Not as far as I know, but you should Google search and see.
Most/all the Blu-rays I burn are without menus, just play on insertion.
