Unless you have Toast 9 in which case you can burn video, yes I know. Thanks for confirming its compatibility with Apple though.

So if I use this burner with toast on my MP I will be able to make a blu-ray that:
a: plays in all Blu-Ray players or
b: Plays in some Blu-Ray burners?
By november we have to deliver HD content and I prefere to use our Mac for the editing, not the PC with Premiere.
Will it be "safe" to go the Mac route you think?

I'm not interested in playing Blu-Ray movies on the computer right now. I want it for backup and the ability to send out HD screeners. As long as I can make backups and burn movies that will play on Blu-Ray players I'll be happy.

Good, very VERY good. About burning video that is playable in Blu-ray players... I don't know if you can do that, but data for sure.
You are the real market for Blu-ray. These "I WANT TO WATCH HDCP MOVIES ON MY MAC" people have problems.

You can definitely burn video playable in HD players through OS X. Toast 9, with the Blu-Ray video plug-in works, though is apparently a bit buggy by the sound of the forums (and not working fully with all burners, to boot), and Adobe's Encore burns working Blu-ray video discs. I'm hoping DVD Studio Pro gets support soonish before I spring for a GBW-H20L or something like that. Even if it doesn't, being able to back a whole standard project up to a single disc (or compressed HD...) as a raw project file with media is handy as another backup solution.
Well, if the rumors are true that OS X 10.5.6 has Blu-Ray support in it my suspicion is that Final Cut Studio 3, which will probably come out early next year, will have Blu-Ray support in DVD Studio Pro 5.
