Re: Quick and dirty AE to Blu-ray solution?

If you haven't heard, there are some simple (cheap) solutions.

Toast 10 ($99 plus $20 blu-ray plug-in)

Believe it or not, you can use Toast 10, your normal DVD burner and a normal DVD-R disc to burn blu-ray discs. The only negatives with this technique is that you can only store about 30 minutes worth of HD footage on a DVD-R disc, and there have been compatibility problems with the DVD-R discs not being recognized on some blu-ray players. You'd want to do some basic testing before you commit to this as a permanent solution.

I've been using this workflow for a while now and it's worked out great. My only issues have been with compatibility. Most Sony blu-ray players will play the discs, but Samsung and Pioneer players wont. The one Denon player I tested played the disc without issue. I haven't done extensive testing as we own a LG blu-ray burner which solves the compatibility issue.
