BluRay Authoring a Mac

[Grisnjam]

I am starting to get into BluRay DVD authoring and I am wondering about options on a MAC.

I have Toast 11 with the BluRay plug-in but the content control is limited.

I am editing with iMove until June when the new FCP drops.

I see that Adobe Encore CS5 will work but it only comes with Premiere Pro at ~$800 so that ain't gonna work.

Any other options? I want to be able to control menu layouts, music, titles (font, layout) ECT. I can use Toast for building 'play on insert' discs but I am looking for more.

Thanks,

Your cheapest option for this is DoStudio from NetBlender, which starts at $3k. And it only runs under Windows.

New FCP Pro X dropped and with it a new Compressor which says if has BluRay burning built in:

Don't need to install Adobe Encore CS5, you can use a Ripping Blu-Ray to convert Blu-Ray discs to the target format.

The question was about creating a Bluray disc from material we create not ripping already made BluRay discs (for which I recommend MakeMKV).

I have just been using Toast Titanium to make my BluRay Discs. Not the fanciest but for Wedding videos I can make it work.
