It really is a shame that with today’s consumer camcorders capable of full 1920x1080video, that editing and authoring/burning of a BluRay disc to share with friends has to be so problematic and expensive. Wouldn’t it be nice if Apple would simply add a “Burn to BluRay” button to iDVD or DVDStudio Pro? Shouldn’t be that hard, but I’m not a software development guy. Given both of your Level 7’s and participative points inthis Final Cut forum, I respect your feedback and experience in this area.
MAC ALTERNATIVE TO NICECAST SOFTWARE UPGRADE
Simply put, I feel abandoned by Apple for not making asimple BluRay upgrade to iDVD. Thestatic displays offered by Toast, Final Cut, and Compressor are not good enoughfor me.ĭavid, I AM a long time and devoted “Apple fan-boy”, goingway back to the middle 80’s and the Mac Classic assigned to me then by myemployer. Now a 71 year oldretired and cranky senior with an iMac, I cannot afford the ~$2500 for theEncore CS5.5 package. If I couldqualify as a student or teacher, I guess the $275 would be in reach, however.Īnd if Apple’s long term plan is web delivery, I don’t knowhow BluRay quality is going to be delivered via the current web infrastructure,…at least in my lifetime. I’veheard one reason for Netflix inability to stream Dolby Digital 5.1 sound alongwith video has something to do with bandwidth limitations? Avatar via the web in not going tohappen quite soon.
