Besides the limited (or outrageously expensive) production tools available to non-studios for producing Blu-ray discs, the Finishing Line breaks down the costs for developing your first project:
_$2,500 : License Fee to author and distribute Blu-ray
_$3,000 : One-time fee to AACS. (I think this is billed per production company / individual)
_$1,585 : Per complete Blu-ray project
_$.04 : Four cents per disc. Fee paid to AACS
_$.01 : One penny per disc paid to Sony to handle all these payments on your behalf
That’s in addition to the actual cost of authoring and replication. Don’t expect a lot of micro-indies or indie-music Blu-ray discs anytime soon.
