Is there a way to take DVDs and put the MPEG2 video on a BD-R without re-encoding/converting to HD codecs? I'm planning to get a burner soon, and the first thing I want to do is put Dune (2000) on 1 disc instead of 3. I'm tired of waiting for movies like this to get released on BD. I hate swapping discs. Could you just author the disc as if it were a huge DVDR? Like do a menu with 3 titles or merge them and just leave it all DVD format but burn it to the BD-R?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Alternatively you could re-encode as an XviD data DVD with minimal loss of quality.

You can burn them as data and play on your PC easily, but I'm assuming you want to play them on a blu-ray player.
Keep in mind, DvD compliant MPEG-2 streams are fully compliant within the blu-ray standard, even if they're in SD. So all the Dune movies can be remuxed to blu-ray as-is - no re-encoding necessary. All you need is authoring/burning software.
Easier said than done though... No tools are perfect today (or they're very expensive). Then again, NeroVision should be OK when it's just MPEG-2 streams.
I'm also anticipating future blu-ray players to support the DvD-ISO format. This would enable a straight copy of a DvD into file form, as data to an empty BD, and would playback exactly like the original disc. It's not blu-ray standard, but then again, DvD discs themselves aren't officially blu-ray standard either (only available as a "feature"), so I don't see why this ISO feature won't be available when burners become lower priced and folks will indeed want their DvDs to play on their BD units from one disc. You can put an average of 8 DvD movies on one empty 50GB disc.Alternatively you could re-encode as an XviD data DVD with minimal loss of quality.I hate VHS. I always did. -

Use multiAVCHD to author the video from the dvds as blu-ray,way better than nero and its free.
I think,therefore i am a hamster. -

Personally, I'm dying to stuff all 120 episodes of the 60s Batman series from my TV capture collection (not available on commercial DvD) on two fully compliant SD BD discs in good quality MPEG-2... several days of glorious cheesiness, with lots of sadistic Joker and Riddler laughs, with only one disc swap - what could be better?I hate VHS. I always did.
