Can any one suggest a way to convert blu ray and HD DVDs to standard def DVDs?
Why such sacrilege? Because every body has DVD players every where car, kitchen etc so buying a blue ray or HD player for every room would cost too much. And theirs converter software converts DVDs to anything so this would make life easier.

fyi many hddvd titles come with a standard dvd version. Those are usually flipper discs. Just turn them over and you have a standard dvd to play anywhere. Now not every hddvd has them but some do. THat way you don't have to convert those.
BUT they don't offer that on bluray as far as I know.
you could always use a copying device to do realitme capture to dvd mpeg 2 mode and then burn a new disc. You'd lose 5.1 audio and menus of course but that would be the fastest method since it would be realtime plus the authoring/burning time afterwards.
Other than that if you want to maintain 5.1 audio and menus you have to go through a long conversion process. I'm not familiar with bluray/hddvd ripping and encoding methods yet.
Side note - obvfiously you need either a hddvd and/or bluray computer drive in order to do this - you can't rip from a standalone unit unless you are using xbox 360 hddvd drive - than you would be able to.

I've been trying to accomplish this task with no luck myself.
Blu-Ray -> DVD
I would like to keep the 5.1 audio if possible but I don't care about menus or anything.
If anyone has a guide to follow that will help me accomplish this please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

I haven't tried this myself, but on Doom9 there was success doing Blu-ray => .h264 DVD9 (playable on blu-ray) with ripbot264 (main movie only, no menus, etc...)
To make a DVD compliant DVD9/DVD5, you need a MPEG-2 encoder like CCE or HCenc. Use dgAVCdec to index, frameserve into the encoder to generate compliant streams, author with your favorite DVD authoring application. If it's a VC-1 encoded blu-ray, use DirectShowSource and avisynth.
So is there an "easy" 1-button way? No yet

If you have the m2ts file of the bluray on your hard drive just use convertXtodvd.It does work.

Well like he said, if you have HD video (HDV, AVCHD, etc...) it can be useful to make a DVD to send to relatives who don't have HD equipment.

ConvertX2DVD doesn't always work right for this task, at least not for me! Most of the time you get audio sync issues..
I'd use poisondeathray's advise and re-encode with CCE or HCEnc, and author a new DVD....which is what I do, and it works every time for me...

I personally have done it.. I use EAC3to on the EVO or TS file and have it demux the audio tracks to AC3 5.1 audio (I usually get the English AND Spanish.. Havn't figured out how to do the subtitles) and the video to an MKV. I then use an AVIsynth AVS file to feed TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress the video and EAC3to pads the audio so it's never been out of sync. There ya go.. A DVD ready MP2.
