Re: To burn a blu-ray - best way?

Andrew,

It's hard to say - but that's because I didn't communicate myself as well as I should had;

I was talking about the idea of connecting your mac to a 'tv set' (via DVI) vs. connecting it through a hardware card to a broadcast monitor.

FCP uses multiple 'cheats' to display video footage when you connect your mac to a TV
You can only truly trust the method of using a hardware card to a Broadcast monitor (not a TV).

So, let's try to troubleshoot this again:
1) How are you judging it looks good or not? When you say it looks great on your mac...
.....Are you talking about inside of FCP?
.....Are you talking about inside of QuickTime?
.....Are you talking about a BluRay disc? If so, how did you get it from FCP to BluRay?
.....What were the BluRay settings in Toast? In Compressor?
2) How are you viewing a bluray disc?
.....Is this what you feel doesn't look good?
.....how is the blu-ray connected to the TV?

It's a complex issue and the terms "Just don't look as good" isn't as descriptive as we need to help.

Best,
