Ars Technica points to some speculation on Spymac that Mac OS X 10.5 (aka Leopard), delayed until October of this year, will support the Blu-ray Disc high-definition video format. Ars Technica's article also speculates that Apple will introduce Blu-ray Disc players into lower-priced consumer level Macs as well as professional Mac Pro and MacBook Pro hardware.Apple joined the Blu-ray Disc Association back in March 2005. Spymac says that Apple's DVD Studio Pro disc authoring software currently supports HD DVD but not Blu-ray Disc.
On a sort of related note, engadgetHD reports that High-Def Digest just published reviews of Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD versions of BBC's Planet Earth series. Have you been watching it? The DVDs, released initially in the U.K., are narrated by David Attenborough and are phenomenal. The Discovery Channel is airing an edited version in the United States.
Hi-Def Digest raves about the HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc editions: "...simply put, this disc delivers the kind of breathless demo material that early adopters have been craving."
This production is personally probably the only thing that could get me to shell out for Blu-ray or HD DVD. What about you?
