Logitec offers Blu-ray upgrade drive for Mac Pros

updated 02:10 pm EDT, Thu August 19, 2010

Blu-Ray burning solution, FCP 7 tested


Japan’s Logitec has developed a Blu-Ray upgrade drive solution for Mac Pros. The LBD-A12SAK/MW kit includes a copy of Roxio Toast Titanium 10, which adds Blu-ray burning support to the Mac line in lieu of any official support for Blu-ray from Apple. It has been tested with Final Cut Pro 7 and is capable of authoring a 24GB BD-Video disc in 10 minutes.

The 12X speed SATA drive is compatible with Mac Pros running OS X 10.4 or later and retails for 24,800 yen or about $290 plus shipping.

    Why can't Apple wake up?

    If the MacPro is indeed the choice for video professionals- why hasn't Apple at least had an option for this? sorry- but, someone is producing the Blu-ray discs- and why not on a Mac?
    And- the inability to view them on laptops? What- we're supposed to buy movies 2x?
    C'mon- stop drinking the coolaid- the rest of the world has accepted it.

    Sorry

    But your the one drinking the kool aid. Everyone knows Blu-Ray is useless. Steve has told us. And the licensing issues involved in making a player application is a 'world of hurt'. Steve told us that too.

    Don't be listening to all those people who claim that Apple's hardware already has all the video restrictions in place, because, while it is true, it is immaterial.

    And don't even think of listening to the naysayers who state Apple is doing this because it helps them with selling videos on the iTMS. It has nothing to do with that! Apple sees that physical media is dead. The only people who don't seem to understand that are the millions of people spending the billions of dollars on CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Ray disks. They're the ones who need to wake up!
