how to convert BR to dvd5

[deadone]

hi all, im awaiting a couple of shows on blueray format i managed to get from a friend to play around with.
im curious on how i can go about getting the content to play on my ps3 and also if its possible to convert the disc to dvd5 so its watchable in std dvd players.

only info i have is this.

Quality: HDCam 1080i
Container: BDMV
Video Codec: H.264
Audio Codec: AC3

i have googled about it and to be honest i dont even know if im looking at the correct topics etc.
i do hope to get a br player soon but wanted a show or 2 to play around with and see what i can and cant do with them in the likes of ripping, converting and burning to dvd5 or even dual layeretc.

thanx
Mick

Don't down-convert, simple as that.

My feeling is that something was created in HD and was meant to be seen that way.

If you get a show in blu-ray, without a blu-ray drive -- you won't be able to "mess" with it anyway?

yeah i dont want to down convert.
the reason i ask is that 1 of the shows is a data disc with the files on it. he also dont have a blueray burner so was just curious on how i would go about doing it to dvd5 so i can watch it or even watch it on my ps3.

PLAYLIST
STREAM
INDEX.BDM
MOVIEOBJ.BDM

I have never done this before Mick, but I just used google and found this

One of the converters presented there could probably help.

cool, thanx to cj i can now watch it ok on my ps3 player so the show is great.

i also already have convertxtodvd and a couple of others. will try some methods over the weekend and see how it goes.

also this is for my own use so i can watch it on my dvd player untill the time comes i can get myself a BR dvd rewriter.

thanx for the links

Glad you got it sorted out. CJ doesn't post much anymore, but I had a feeling he was the best person to help with this.
