Eric, may be missing something here but why Blue Ray, are you planning on selling the video? If it's for home consumption then an HDMI cable straight to the TV does the job or an Apple TV.
I know there are Apple users out there using Blue Ray, I know of many specialised video producers like Graham who are using Apple computers in a big way. Apple may not intend fitting Blue Ray drives in their computers an fact they have just about stopped even fitting DVD drives now because they are obsolete, that doesn't stop anyone plugging one in to a USB slot or using a wifi connection like the Mac Book Air DVD drive.
Doug may know more on this?
It was Graham who raised the Bluray issue...I was just commenting.
If you read his post he also said he has gone back to PC.
Personally I don't see a significant improvement from Bluray over HD on an HD television. On a higher res monitor it may be better.
I also didn't ask about software (although thanks for your inputs) My original question was about 'upgrading the PC ' ....ie hardware ....as I imagine there is extra processing, memory and storage required when editing.
