Burning Blu-ray on a Mac

I purchased an LG BE06 External Blu-ray burner today. It took me a long time to find a non-Lacie external burner available in Canada (even with Google), and I finally found it at Best Buy. I think Best Buy is the only place that carries the BE06, as the LG Canada website doesn't even list it.

This unit was praised for functionality, but criticized for price when it came out several months ago. They have since slashed the price, and I picked it up for $340 open box, which is a great deal. The Lacie external is still over $700, and is not as fast.

Right out of the box, I was able to successfully burn a BD-RE (Blu-ray rewritable disc) with Toast 9, which I purchased separately. No drivers necessary.

Next step is to test burn a blu-ray video disc in Toast. My clients will likely only need autoplay discs, so I won't need the menu functionality of the Adobe Production Suite.
