Expecting new baby am going to get a new video camera (suggestions or another thread?) any how I have messed around with iMovie but at the end want to send it to family on Blu ray? How do I export to format that blu ray will read (is it possible?) I have heard that toast will do it if not I can take files to work to burn there (have a blu ray burner there) but cant dont editing there during work time.

The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.
Therefore to clarify:
- You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
- This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
- You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
- You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Macs don't generally come with a Blu Ray drive, so you'll have to get a 3rd party one. iMovie is perfectly capable of exporting 1080p or 720p movies at high quality using h.264 and Toast can burn to Blu Ray. You can also use RevolverHD to burn them in HD to DVD that will play in a Blu Ray player. You do not need Blu Ray disks for HD home movies... unless you're shooting Avatar!

you need to buy toast titanium pro for the HD plugin, it doesn't come with standard toast. you can download it separately for $20 i think.
also, remember there is no software available for mac to read & play Blu Rays. i believe Windows does though.
