Blu-ray burner applications designed for macOS enable users to create Blu-ray discs from digital files. These utilities facilitate the process of transferring video, audio, and data onto high-capacity Blu-ray media. For example, a user might employ such software to archive a personal video collection in high definition.
The significance of these tools lies in their ability to preserve and distribute large amounts of data, surpassing the capacity of DVDs. They are especially valuable for video professionals, filmmakers, and individuals who require high-quality video backups or physical distribution of their work. Historically, optical media provided a key means of data storage and distribution; while digital distribution has become prevalent, Blu-ray still offers advantages in terms of archiving and physical media distribution.
