Titanium Pro 10 - Mac: Can an original Blu-Ray movie, burned from this software on a Mac, play on consumer BR Players?

I bought a mac because I thought it would be better to make photo slideshow and video. I have been taking classes at the MAC store and have found that there is nothing that compares to Photdex Proshow Gold for the PC. I have spent months searching and was told by apple techs that if I want professional looking photos and video on my large screen TV I would have to buy the very expensive Final Cut and not the Express one because it has to go though iDVD which degrades the pictures. Tech even said "iDVD just sucks". Proshow is less than $100. I am very discouraged!!! Will Roxio solve this problem?

Yes it works, on my 15inch Mac Book Pro Retina, but what are you trying to do? You may need additional software to play Blue Ray disks. Same with authoring Blue Ray disks.. Etc

As long you have the correct codecs for your OS, it should play. It has nothing to do with the dvd or blu ray drive, rather the player (software apps) playing the VLC files.

Yes, you can burn Blu-ray videos using the Mac. I tried burning a home movie made from iMovie exported to 1080p mp4 format. Then burn it with Roxio Toast Pro w/ Blu-ray support.

No. Lots of people are suggesting that Apple is considering adding that as a feature to the 2012 spring release of iMac (if and when they release the new one). Chances are it won't have a blu-ray player, though.

As far as I know, it's JUST a DVD player...Blu Rays won't play on DVD players but DVD's will play on Blu-Rays. I think the price would be a lot higher if it were a Blu Ray player. Do not buy this if you're looking for a Blu-Ray Player.

Yes...ish. For data and DVD disks no problem. Mac doesn't like Blu-ray though. You will have to download software (Macgo is the only one I can find that is reliable) or use hacks with free VLC and DVDFab that are complicated and don't always work, at least for me.

Don't know. I couldn't get the software to work on my Windows 7 system (which is up to date.) I had to download 3rd party software to get it to play Blu-Rays.

It's just plug and play. I have a 2011 mac book pro and have use this drive several times with no issues. Just remember that macs don't have native Blu-ray playback. You'll see the disk mount, and you can even burn to recordable disks. But you will need 3rd party software to play movies. There is free stuff out there if you google it.

Hello, yes it does play Blue Ray files. I havent used the player in years. The network connection had to be fast or connect the player directly to the HDD.This might help. http://www.pavtube.com/guide/watch-blu-ray-with-seagate-freeagent-theater-plus-for-mac.html

Yes it does. I bought (downloaded by internet) this software: Mac Blu-ray Player.

No, not for Blu-Ray movie playback. You'll need to purchase that separatley. There are several demo versions of software you can try out on the internet, the full versions of which run between 50-100 USD.

I am not sure where you can get software to play BD on Macs. Go to Apple.com to the support tab and or forums.

The drive itself uses a SATA connector, and shows up in Windows as a standard cd-rom drive. I didn't have to load any specific drivers, it uses the generic one supplied with Windows 7. It will probably be seen my Mac OS X, but I have no idea whether or not the OS or apps would let it read Blu-Ray content.

Yes, you are supposed to be able to use this on blu rays. I haven't tried it myself yet. I caution you though. The machine doesn't really work all that well. Just today I tried to get a regular cd working properly. I went through the steps twice but I'm still having a problem with the picture freezing up and I can't even see where there is a scratch visually. So I'm probably going to have to buy something else to try anyway.

I found online that it supports OS X 10.6 and up. I am not familiar with OS X in general so I can't fully commit and say it will be easy to use. Many users are claiming it to be hard to find a good program for burning the data. Apple has never endorsed Blu-Ray so this shouldn't be surprising. I would check some forums before committing to a purchase, but I must say its a great BD burner.
