Blu Ray Player Sierra Osx Archive Their Imagery

I only do data (backup) BRs - single and dual layer - so Im not exactly touching any extended functionality of the software.

One day I had to burn a DVD from my external BR burner without Toast.

It had been a long time since I used Disk Utility for burning, but I figured it out with a little help from the Googs machine.

No problem. I cant remember which OS, but with 2 cMPs I probably ran it on Sierra, HS, and Mojave, with internal and external optical drives.

I would only suggest -R media, and highly recommend Verbatim disks.

I have used Toast for the last 7 or 8 years.

Heres why. While the regular price is too much, I bought it directly from OWC on Black Friday for 12 price or less.

While you do get a better GUI and more options with Toast, theres probably no significant differences.

But I do time lapse animations, and in most cases, they are only 15 minutes or so in length.

The BR quality is far superior to DVD, and the add-in Toast software lets me create BR quality animations on a 20 cent DVD That will DVD will play on any BR player with BR quality Otherwise, I could do without Toast, and just use DU.

Many optical BR burners are capable of using M-disks which are supposed to last 1,000 years.

Like BR-r, they are now available in 25, 50 and 100GBdisk.

While optical drives are likely to disappear completely in the near future, its still a very viable for archival storage for my best of photography imagery, made since the middle of last century.

Good luck.

In theory it should just work but in my experience when moving from one Burner to the next it ended up being really unreliable with lots of failures - I had to use Toast to get back to predictable burning.

I also believe Ive never lost a single BR ever since adapting that software years ago.

Picking a particularly compatible brand that fits the burner seems important.

I had to teach Photo1 students to archive their imagery to disk, and the lab had no alternatives to DU.

In my own Macs, I have used stock internal and a Pioneer internal, and currently have left one internal optical drive and added an LG external BR in my 12-core system, but can use it on my 2012 MBP since I tossed the internal DVD and moved the original HDD to the optical bay and replaced the HDD with an SSD.

With my experience with many different burners, I have found that the Verbatim disks were the best in all my burners, but still believe your suggestion may be valid as well, matching media brands to hardware brands.

I also wanted to mention that a few of the Toast auto features like backing up all burns, etc.
