How would you convert Blue-Ray and HD-DVD movies to be able to play them on a regular dvd player until I can purchase a player and TV?

Thanks for any info on this

I can rip them to the PC but I cannot watch them on my TV yet because I don't have a blue ray player for it. I can watch them on my pc but that's not much fun and I'm not going to buy DVD format and then turn around and buy BR format later on.

Anyway I got them converted and now I can at least watch them on DVD format until I get the BR player so I can watch them normally.

Thanks for the help (or lack of) lol

come on guys, I'd hope a group of technophiles and HD enthusiasts would be able to cut through the red tape and really band together when vying for proof of concept.

in your opinion if its worth it or not is irrelevant at this point, I personally do see the justification for wanting to rip a blu-ray disc onto dvd, who wants to buy a movie twice?

So after all my research this is what I think you'll need to do, you'll need to rip the media from the disc ofcourse, however without the proper equipment this is impossible, so inevitably you'll be purchasing a blu ray drive, but lets say for arguements sake you have access to one without buying it.

once you've ripped the media you'll need to compress it to fit on a dvd, you may want to consider purchasing dual layer discs to avoid compressing to much.

authoring DVD's is easy and you can find tons of tutorials around here on that so lets focus on teh blu ray part.

There are already threads that ask about ripping blu ray discs, i've managed to do this already myself but due to a lack of time and energy I haven't done anything with the data yet, its been done bud and I have no doubt you could do it if you apply yourself so the answers are here just look for 'em.
