Re: New Macbook - Deliberately hobbled?

[Jeremy Garchow] "And when you go to replicate, it's a $4,500 licensing fee just to get started. At least it was last time I called around. "

That's the licensing fee for Commercial Replication. NOT to install a BluRay drive inside your machine. Those are two different things.

i'm sure there's a licensing fee to add BluRay authoring to software, but not just to install the drive.


[Jeremy Garchow] "Oh yeah? Where? I am curious as I have not been successful in my area (Chicago). If anyone knows of one in the area, I am all ears. "

The folks we talk to are out of Phoenix. I didn't say they were all around, they're just easier to find now. When we looked 14 months ago we had two choice. Do a Google search for Blu Ray Replication and you'll get some options.

Don't know of any in Chicago, but I work with folks all over the country.


[Jeremy Garchow] "Walter, I know your answers already. "

I will just add that we did NOT purchase any BluRay equipment until the first client asked for it. One thing we do own is a Version 1.0 player (Sony BDP-S1) and a Version 2.0 player (Samsung 1500) and I'm about to purchase another Version 2.0 player (Sony) because these discs have to be tested a LOT more than DVD discs.
