how to burn a blu ray disc from fcp7

[chlsy8]

I just bought a samsung blu ray writer (slim external) and plan to start burn blu ray from FCP 7 myself. (Footage is from canon 5D mark II) It doesn't look like my mac pro (old one mac os x 10.5.8) recognizing it.

How do you do it?

Deadline to meet, Thanks so much! The more detail the better!

You need different software. DVD studio (the DVD authoring software bundled in Final Cut Studio) won't author a blu-ray.

Adobe Encore is your best bet. If you can't pay, there's even a fully functioning 30 day trial.

Export your footage from FCP, create and burn the disc through Encore.

I like Toast Titanium.

No, I mean Encore. They're both a part of the Creative Suite, but Premiere is the edit software, and Encore is for authoring DVD's and BluRays.

Thanks!

Toast is cheaper indeed But free trial of encore is nice.

So do you guys export FCP file into compressor to get two compressed files (audio and video) before sending to encore or toast?
