Blu Ray Burning software

Recently I filmed my brothers wedding using my Sony HD camcorder. I've now finished editing the footage and want to put it onto Blu-Ray disc for him. Unfortunately the software that came with the camcorder doesn't support Blu-Ray, only DVDs. Can anyone recommend any good Blu-Ray burning software. I don't mind paying a bit for it, as long as it works. Ideally I'd like something that will let me create a basic menu, so they can pick and choose which bits to watch. Thanks for you help.

    Although remember most drives are not blu-ray burners except on higher-end machines, just readers.

    Mine's definitely a Blu-Ray burner. I installed it myself.

    i USE IMGBURN FOR TWO BLU-RAY WRITERS i HAVE (sorry caps on). Found it to be far better than nero. I tend to just burn large files and backup and some video on to blu-ray disc to play back on it or a stand alone player than can play bdr discs with video on

    I been using bdr discs for almost 2 years now with very little touch wood, problems in fact its been less problem than dvd-r but as yet haven't seen how long discs last only time will tell. If the video is precious as always back it up on to another disc or 2 and other media like a usb HD

    Don't forget that you can download a 15 or 30 day Trial of Sony BluRay Authoring software.

    Does Windows Live Movie Maker recognise the input?
