It seems you could do it with new Toast 8:

. . . but not really involved on this subject. Probably someone else give you more info about this.

There currently is no Apple supported way of burning a Blu-Ray disc. The only software that is out at the moment that can burn such a disc is the new version of Toast. I personally do not have the new version so I can't give you an exact answer but I don't think a DVD designed in DVDSP can be burned through Toast....at least not a full blown 1080i/p disc...

Blu-Ray still has about a year before it takes off. Apple is usually really good about being on top of new hardware support so I would bet that the new version of Final Cut Studio will support HD DVD & Blu-Ray.

Toast will not author a BD disc, only burn data to a Blu Ray drive.

Here's a very comprehensive list of HD and BD authoring tools:

Not on the list is DVDSP; Blu-Print from Sony
& Toshiba's own HD DVD tool which isn't available to the public.

so basicly the only way you can author and burn a bluray dvd is through a PC??

Good luck.

I follow this closely looking at blu ray and DVDit® Pro HD looking at the forums and the results.

I've yet to see anybody successfully burn and play on a Samsung, Sony, etc. blu ray set top any blu ray HD DVD.

AFAIK, Toast 8's BD support is for Data discs.

I've burned a Blu ray DVD and it does play on the Samsung player if the Samsung still has it's original firmware. They also play fine on the current Panasonic. These are BDMV BD-RW discs, created with AvidDVD5.6 (aka DVDit HD).

Best,
