I was looking at the doom9 forums and came across this thread. It started off talking about putting multiple dvd9 content onto a blueray disc but soon changed to backing up a blueray disc to a dvd5 or dvd9 blank in avchd format playable and readable on blueray standalone players. From reading that thread it seems that jdobbs is considering adding blueray->dvd5 or 9 avchd backup to dvdrebuilder. So it looks like you won't need to buy blueray blanks anytime soon. If you want to do this now click here to get the steps jdobbs used to create an avchd disc on a dvd5 or 9.

No worries
While the rebuilder probably works fine for BD, it won't work for HD to BD conversion.
Try http://www.glenharrison.com/bluray/index.htm for direct porting of the main HD movie with no re-compression.
If you want to get it on a DVD9 then re-encoding with megui is needed.Regards,

Greetings folks - reviving this thread since it's too interesting. I'm very interested in getting SD content to BD compliant formats, particularly with H.264's improved compression - even more in the same space.
Here's the deal though: A "BD-5" or a "BD-9" is not standard according to the BD spec. The only standard on this media is AVCHD, which has its own specs entirely. Does anybody have further insight to this? And no, not just for a PS3, but for BD in general.
Maybe I should read the threads further, but RipBot264 doesn't seem to make that distinction between AVCHD and BD content - it uses the blu-ray nal-hrd patch, calls it AVCHD compatibility, yet says it's blu-ray content, and only seems to only promise playback on the PS3... wanna clear me up on this folks?
As well, SD content on BD supports 720x480/576 for AR of 4:3/16:9. There is no way this can be done without distortion at --sar 1:1, which is the x264 command in the MeGUI blu-ray profile. Easy to change, but I don't know how to change this in RipBot264 though, which assumes 1:1 for all (common in HD).
Wouldn't you need for SD instead?
4:3, 720x480 NTSC --sar 8:9
16:9, 720x480 NTSC --sar 32:27
4:3, 720x576 PAL --sar 16:15
16:9, 720x576 PAL --sar 64:45I hate VHS. I always did. -
How very puzzling, PuzZLer.
I thought freebird was talking about Blu-ray backups (Blu-ray => DVD9) using h.264 instead of MPEG-2?
I haven't done this myself, but on Doom9 forums, RipBot264 was successful in making Blu-ray => DVD9 compatible with a blu-ray player (Just the movie, no chapters, menus etc...) Look around post #1121

Well I can see how puzzler got confused. The thread on doom9 actually started off talking about placing multiple SD dvd's onto a Blueray disc. It wasn't until the 4th or 5th post down when the discussion turned to backing up a blueray disc to dvd5 or 9 in a format that would be playable on a standalone blueray player or ps3.
For those interested from this post jdobbs has created a profile in DVDRBpro that will do the upconverting.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but it seems jdobbs is pretty close to releasing a BD Rebuilder for VIP testing.

so is this a DVDShrink-like application where I can just choose a video track, audio track, subtitle track and the program automatically re-code BD movies to DVD-9 blu-ray standard?
"Half empty or half full, it's still only half a glass" - What Dave Says -
There are a couple of major differences between it and DVD Shrink. It's not a transcoder but will do a full reencode (and will probably take a long time to complete). And it's not free. About the only similarity to DVD Shrink that I can see is its simplicity and ease of use.
