Burning Blu-ray discs on MAC - apart from Toast ?

[mjoshi123]

I've got mac mini and I use external bluray burner to burn my discs on Macmini. I use Toast for this purpose. Everything works fine except I dont like the way toast creates menu - there is nothing professional looking from Toast menu system. Is there any better alternative for burning bluray discs on MAC ?

Unfortunately i think the best method involves using windows on your mac. Here is a link to a decent idea, but the lower quality defeats the purpose.

I use Adobe Encore. You can do anything you can think of... motion menus, audio loops, easter eggs, full control of all buttons... everything. Comes part of the Production Premium package.

Toast and Adobe Encore are the only two BD burning applications I can think of on the Mac side.

The only downside with Encore is that it isn't available standalone; it only comes bundled with Premiere Pro, so the price of entry is kind of high.

As others....

had said: Adobe Encore. But you have to shell out full price ($650 or so) or buy a monthly subscription (if eligible/applicable)....

Careful with toast. The discs playback fine on most players, but i've run into issues on some players (mainly Pioneers).

Compressor (although you have very little options) and Encore are the best bets from a compatibility standpoint.
