Re: [Avid-L2] blue ray on a mac

From the little test I did with Toast burning BluRay video to DVD
looks the same as if you burn it to BluRay media. It's all to do with
the Toast encoding. But you won't get as much onto a DVD. Like 12min
or so if I remember right. I wouldn't try and pass one off as a
competitor to a professional authoring house making a disk, but for
office stuff it's fine.
