    We're cutting a film shot on R1 and EPIC and will need to create Blu Ray screeners soon. I know CS5.5/CS6 can do this, but what external Blu Ray burners have people had good luck with?

    Thanks!

    You guys probably sorted this out by now, but I also use the same OWC burner as Clark.

    Cool. Ended up with a pioneer burner in an external USA/ESATA housing and so far its solid.

    We have had very good results with Apple Compressor and various external and internal Drives. The main issue is Audio track lay out and how to prep those in the correct order. What you may think is obvious isn't. Google 5.1 Blu ray for compressor and theres various info about it.

    We are using Adobe Media Encoder and Encore with no trouble. Any advantage in using Compressor?

    I just recently purchased the Samsung SE-506AB through amazon for only $85 and burned some several blu-rays last week using Encore. The most success I had was creating the Blu-ray image first and then burning the image onto the BD-R on Encore. Great deal for an external USB Blu-ray burner.
