I've been working a LOT on my new e-book, "Fast Path to Blu-ray" in which Part 1 outlines the way for Mac users to get some Blu-ray joy. Part 2 will cover the same basics, but from the PC standpoint.

This weekend, I will be posting the current Table of Contents, and Chapter 2, which outlines new Blu-ray in Final Cut Pro 7, as a downloadable PDF for anyone who is registered on the website, paid member or free.

Subscribed (paid) site members will be able to download the entire e-book for free! Registered site visitors who only have the "free' one-week membership will be able to purchase the book for immediate digital download. I'm still working on the final price - what do YOU think it should cost?   

In a rare local appearance, I'll be with Larry Jordan in Santa Ana Tuesday July 28th (see the home page article) and since Apple has just released FCS3/FCP7, I'll be showing off the new Blu-ray features in FCP7 and Compressor 3.5. Details are at Larry's Website here

 

Apple has released the new version of Final Cut Studio, and it has some interesting Optical Disc  updates - NO, DVD Studio Pro does NOT do Blu-ray. But there IS a new command in FCP7 that provides a direct path to burning a simple Blu-ray disc, much like Toast 10. I'll have more on this in the future.

Are you in the Southern California area? Want to spend a few hours getting the most up-to-date information on the latest advances in Digital Media publishing using Blu-ray media or Blu-ray on DVD discs, as well as updates on Final Cut Pro and other Mac apps ? Join me at Larry Jordan's Santa Ana, CA Power Up seminar July 28th

I've posted the first two of our new VIDEO tutorials for Blu-ray authoring using Toast 10 Titanium. You will find them in the Learn menu, at "Learn Toast 10 ".

In future days, we'll explore each of the steps of simple Blu-ray authoring using Toast 10. Don't forget you will need theHD/BD Plugin (a slight extra-cost option), in order to activate the Blu-ray video features in Toast.

If you don't already own Toast 10, here's a link to the Roxio store with my affiliate code. If you purchase by clicking on this link, Recipe4DVD.com will make a few bucks to cover our website overhead.
