So, you buy the software from Amazon for $38. Lastly, Toast has a never-ending $20 rebate. Like OS X, Toast will also create data disks without the plugin.

Secondly, you must also purchase the $20 Blu-ray plugin in order to create Blu-ray movie disks. Strangely, it's $1 more for the electronic download. It's also silly to purchase it directly from Corel/Roxio for $80. You have to purchase it for either, so there's no sense spending the extra money on the Pro box. The necessary Blu-ray movie plugin used to be included with the Pro version, but hasn't been for quite a while now. It says HD authoring for that, and not the standard version, but that is incorrect. It adds basically a bunch of useless shovelware to the mix. If you want, or need the extra goodies the paid version has, you can upgrade, but you don't have to.ĭon't waste your money on the Pro version. It remains free for use with small ads for YouTube, Google+ and others stuck to the interface, which you can hide by changing the view to full screen. I was pleasantly surprised this didn't lead to an onslaught of spam emails. Your only requirement is to provide an email address to get a one-time, permanent activation code. They also all time out and force you to buy the overpriced software. Just looking at each web site tells you they're all the same. The only thing that's different between them is the design of the interface itself. Or at least, they all used the same template. The playback software MichelPM already named are really all by the same company.

OS X can burn a Blu-ray data disk with the built in Burn utility. No Blu-ray drive you can purchase comes with any type of Mac software for viewing Blu-ray disks, or writing Blu-ray movies. To reiterate some of the things already mentioned.
