Blu-ray authoring software

Is there any decent blu-ray authoring software for the Mac that is Free or decentish?
I don't do video for Blu-ray/DVD that often, but once in a blue moon I need to, so paying a fortune for software to do it is not really worth it.

I do have software on the PC, but would like to use the Mac to save me turning the PC on and moving files around.

I do see some, free to download, then when you look, you find they don't do Blu-ray unless you pay, or they put some watermark across the videos.
I am not against paying for software, paid enough for software on the PC, just not worth it for something that is done once in a blue moon.
If not then, then I will just have to use the PC.


I realise that optical disk are on their way out, before anyone says.


Thanks anyway.
 
I don't have Tahoe to test, but in Sequoia 15.7.7 removing the quarantine attribute was enough to make the app work. From Terminal:
Code: 
xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OpenBurningSuite.app

If it still doesn't work, you can try to re-sign it with an ad-hoc signature:
Code: 
codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/OpenBurningSuite.app

Thank you. After two runs in Terminal, Open Burning Suite opened successfully. Geez, Tahoe was spitting out warnings all over the place prior to it working.

Looks to be quite a powerful program. For the OP @Ad47uk , there's quite a good instruction set:

PS re warnings: also from Terminal that I didn't have with Sequia. Apple really doesn't want folks to meddle.

Cheers, I had the same issue as Alpha Centauri, so I used the PKG version, that worked okay, now I have got to learn how to use the software.
It seems like it can't do DVD or Blu-ray from MP4 files, but I could be wrong. I will have a better look when I have more time.
But once again thanks for this.

Wow, didn't know this existed. Thank you for letting us know about it.

Too bad about not supporting 10.14. It is 10.15+. I will be looking into this one for sure.

Perhaps have a look at MakeMKV and Handbrake. The latter I do use but haven't needed to go mp4 to BR so no experience there. MakeMKV do have a large and helpful community I wrote to about external BR players.

How to Burn Any Video File to a Playable Blu-Ray Disc

If you've ripped your Blu-Ray collection to make your library more convenient, you might also want to burn a back up or use a copy so you don't damage your original.

"TrueHD note (Blu-ray output): Blu-ray players typically expect Dolby TrueHD to be muxed in a Blu-ray style interleaved stream with an AC-3 compatibility core. If your MKV stores TrueHD and AC-3 as separate tracks, tsMuxer can merge them at mux time via the meta/GUI option merge-ac3-track (see docs/USAGE.md).
