In Pro Apps...  =(

Cool, you can burn to a BluRay natively in FCS but Apple still doesnt sell a BTO BluRay burner.  Explain that one Jobsy!

To be clear, a few Pro Apps already had limited BD support this is just expanding it and making it native and more visible.

 Isn't BluRay still a "bag of hurt"?

Yes, but now you can put stuff in the bag with your Mac.

Still no Apple authoring solution as DVD Studio Pro didn't receive an upgrade.

This software can best be described as a Handbrake that supports Blu-ray and has a Mac OS X version.  The resulting files can be played back using programs such as Plex.

Note I don't have a Blu-ray drive like this one store.fastmac.com/product_info.php and have not tried the above software, but it is getting good reviews.  Caveat: for it to work the BD drive has to be able to write something (CDs is fine).  If it is totally a ROM drive in all supported formats, OS X won't allow MakeMKV to access it -- see http://www.makemkv.com/osxmmc/

Boy Genius claims BD support in iTunes 9. Possible BS but, I'm reporting it just in case.
