Blu-ray recordable drive for Macs

Am I just retarded or did they release 10.5 OS X without my knowledge?????

Not having Blu-ray support in DVD Studio Pro is starting to become a real problem.

How come NO ONE talks about the cost of media?

SHOOT: It's MUCH cheaper to buy Hard Disks than Blu-Ray discs !!!

Final Cut Pro doesn't write DVDs of any kind. DVD Studio Pro, which is part of Final Cut Studio, writes DVDs. Sadly, it STILL doesn't write Blu-ray discs.

Given Apple's change of focus from personal computers to handheld gadgets, I wouldn't be surprised if the iPhone G3 supports Blu-ray before the Mac Pro does.

Sheesh. Only 25gigs for a single layer? Never has a wholly new format been such a mediocre step forward in storage capacity. DVD recordable was a bigger leap (from 650MB on a CD to 4.7GB on a DVD) and even that took a decently long time to become widespread.

Now we're at, what, 9ish GB for an expensive dual layer DVD? Assuming that dual layer BD is way off in the distance (which may be incorrect), is the less than 3x improvement from DL-DVD to single layer BD really enough to make many people take the leap?

Yes, writable BD will become the standard at some point. But I don't think it's as compelling as the equivalent jumps from 1.44MB to 650MB to 4.7GB/9GB.

wish it was external :(

Wow, it sounds like there are still a ton of things that need to get done for someone to be able to watch and record your own Blu-ray disks on a Mac....

It'll be a great day when we can handbreak Blu-ray--for backup purposes only, of course.

They've had BD Drives (Tray and Slim) at Fastmac for a while now.

So it does movie discs, will it burn data discs? We could use this for burning backups...
