The present generation of Macs do not include native support for Blu-ray media so Toast 7 has hit the market at the right time to exploit the needs of early adopters. The software allows users to burn BD-R discs and re-write data to BD-RE discs using the familiar drag and drop file copying method. According to reports, Toast 7 treats Blu-ray discs as a removable storage device and writes directly to them without the need for caching on the hard drive first. It's not clear yet whether the arrival of a Blu-ray application for Mac signals that Apple has committed itself to the technology or still has the rival HD DVD format under consideration as well. With no native support for either format on the Mac yet, Apple could turn either way. {moscomment} |
