Blu Ray Discs on a standard DVD?
I found this post on the DVinfo.net forums which explains how to author Blu Ray compatible discs onto standard DVD-Rs. A single layer DVD5 will hold about 29 minutes of 1080 material.
It requires a PC and Nero 8 but the writer claims to have tested it on a number of BD players. responses point out that such discs will NOT work on a PlayStation 3 (which is by far the most common form of Blu Ray player).
Mac users used to have the option of doing this with DVD Studio Pro 4 for HD-DVD compatible DVD-Rs... well I guess they still have that option.

Try this approach:

This only works on the PS3 though.
Shame - the HD-DVD method was bulletproof and very simple - including menus & navigation...
Hi Sean, welcome to the blog. Thanks for the tip. It's annoying that there seems to be one method that works with the PS3 and one method that works with some of the others stand alone players.
It is indeed a pity, and seems to have caught a lot of people off guard. Nobody really seems to take any notice of this stuff (myself included) until HD-DVD was pretty much finished off.
