MCE Technologies (MCE) announced today that it has begun shipping its USB 3.0 16X Blu-ray Authoring System for the Mac. The new Blu-ray Authoring System takes advantage of the powerful high-definition video editing capabilities of the Mac Pro, iMac with Retina 5K Display, and MacBook Pro with Retina Display and is compatible with Final Cut Pro X's ability to author and burn Blu-ray Discs with themed menus.
High capacity 25GB single-layer and 50GB dual-layer write-once Blu-ray BD-R media are recorded with the new system at 16X (72MB/sec), to 100GB triple-layer and 128GB Quad-Layer write-once Blu-ray BD-R XL media at 6X (27MB/sec), and to 25GB, 50GB, and 100GB rewritable BD-RE discs at up to 2X (9MB/sec). The system includes Mac Blu-ray Player software for the playback of self-authored and commercial Blu-ray titles natively on the Mac.
The drive is compatible with Apple's DVD Player application for the playback of DVD movies as well as with Finder Burning for burning data Blu-ray Discs, DVDs and CDs at the Finder level. The drive is bootable and is fully compatible with all Blu-ray, DVD and CD recordable media on the market today and can record to standard DVD±R media at up to 16X (22MB/sec) speed, to DVD±R DL (Double/Dual Layer) media at up to 12X (16.5MB/sec) speed, to DVD±RW at up to 8X speed, and to CD-R and CD-RW media at up to 48X speed.

Wow! Do people still use physical media? I never went to BluRay and just stream HD content when I buy it. There are so many storage/streaming options for user created content that I wonder why people still cling to the past?

I shoot elaborate, multi-cam hi-def videos and I need some way to store and distribute the movies. Streamed hi-def video is not as good as Blu-ray movies. If you've gone through the trouble of shooting and editing video, you'd hate to downgrade your picture quality when you share it with others. Plus the new M-disc media is rated to last 1000 years. Maybe that's overkill but the other storage alternatives will probably not last even one lifetime.

@ElectroTech, professionals need a higher quality delivery system than YouTube or Vimeo. I don't know of a single streaming system that delivers anything approaching Blu-ray quality. This isn't for home movies.
