I have Canon HD Camcorder that I use to record family events, sappy stuff, etc. I haven't purchased Final Cut (mostly because I don't know how to use it), so I use iMovie to edit the video footage. I'm sick of having to 'down-convert' the footage to get it onto a DVD so others can view it, so I'm looking to buy an external Blu-Ray burner (external because I have a newish Macbook). It looks like I have three choices at this point: LG (model BE06LU11), LaCie (d2), or Buffalo Technology. Has anyone tried (and been successful) at accomplishing what I'm trying to do, and if so, with which burner? Thanks so much in advance!

I have customers that want me to produce Blue-Ray disks for their weddings and other activities. Seems like Apple and Final Cut Studio and DVD Studio Pro will not work with output to Blu-Ray. Watch, wait and don't buy yet. I even have Toast with the Blu-Ray plug in to help that has not been successfull either. Getting very frustrated. Blu Ray Drive that Works I have a Buffalo external USB 2.0 Blu Ray drive I bought from Circuit City for $249.

I have only used it for data Blu Ray disks. It works perfectly with Toast on a Mac Pro running 10.5.5. It is hooked up to a USB hub and has no problems. It less than half the price of Mac=specific external drives, such as from La Cie or OWC, yet has a current 6X Blu Ray write speed. The multitudes of problems others have had trying to put a internal LG drive in a firewire or USB case is not worth the trouble. Click to expand.Bluray is a type of disc on which data is stored.

DVD is another type of disc on which data is stored. Bluray can store more data because it's information is written a lot closer together, and uses a much more precise laser to read it. A standard Bluray disc used for movies these days can hold up to 50GB of data, which is almost 5 times more then the largest commercial DVD. Copying a Bluray disc to a DVD will not result in 'Bluray on DVD' - it will still just be a DVD in the end. You cannot turn a standard DVD disc into a Bluray disc, or vice versa. It has to be on a Bluray disc to be called 'Bluray' - the difference is in the disc's structure, not what's on the disc.
