Create Disc - Burn a Blu-Ray (or any disc) without re-encoding possible?

Question

In short, I burned my first Blu-Ray recently using the compressor template job action. I noticed it used an app called Create Disc, but I also noticed that I have to re-encode my file every time I want to burn a new disc (after quitting compressor).
Is there anyway to burn a disc without re-encoding? I don't have Toast 10, but I do have a blu-ray burner in my Mac Pro. While we're at it, has anyone found an opensource app that can playback blu-ray discs?

Hi,
if you already have your h264 and ac3 encode files, you can try running Create disk and follow what Brian suggested to you in the other post.
What I suggested you is the way you can organize your data to burn multiple copies with your Blu ray burner.
But this is done going through the entire process in compressor, where you select your HDD as destination device so that you will end up having an IMG file to be burnt with Disk Utility (multiple times).
If by content saved to your HDD you refer only to those 2 files (h264 and ac3), then copying them to your BD won't work, as you need to author the disk properly, and that's what Create disk does when it either creates a BD directly or an image file.
Creating a Blu Ray is similar to creating a DVD: there is a specific format authored that you can't just copy files in there if you want to play that media using a DVD/Blu ray player.
