Body: <p>hope this is the right place for this query</p>
  
  <p>I am after some advice on authoring blu-ray discs on a Apple Mac, I normally use Apple DVD Studio Pro from the FCP studio package, but this does not offer BR authoring.</p>
  
  <p>Adobe Encore is not supported anymore and after reading some reviews didn't even really work that well.</p>
  
  <p>I mainly do Wedding DVD's so there is a basic menu (4/5 buttons) with a short video background so this is all im looking for, I have Toast but it doesn't offer the customization I need, going direct from FCPX only gives me the option for the current timeline which is no good as I have multiple videos to add.</p>
  
  <p>I have a BR burner in the Mac and it does work with Toast so im just after the App to build the BR image and I can burn it with Toast, like I currently do with DVDSP.</p>
  
  <p>I could run a Windows VM if needed but it would be come messy when trying to move the files back and forth and trying to get the right codecs/supported files etc, but if this is my only option I am willing to look into it.</p>
  
  <p>OR if anyone has any other options I would be open to suggestions.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: preferably free or a low price but im willing to look at all avenues, baring in mind this is not a huge money making operation this will be a few BR discs per year</p>
