Video: HD-DVD exclusives converted to Blu-ray, playable on PS3

Consumers have pretty much always been the most affected party in a format war. With each format having its own share of exclusives, those who have picked one over the other have become left out of what the other has to offer.

There's some good news for Blu-ray supporters, though. Someone who goes by the handle of ps3videohelp has posted a video on Metacafe that supposedly works as a guide on how to convert HD-DVD content to Blu-ray without any re-encoding or loss of quality.

The content can then be burned onto a Blu-ray disc or multiple DVDs. Converted HD-DVDs can also reportedly be played using the Sony PlayStation 3 home video game console.

Anyway, you can check out the video below. Be warned, though: the quality's a bit on the low side, so you may have to be a little creative in trying to ascertain what the guide says.

» BD-R?

I realize that few people have these burners, but is there any reason to not take the HD-DVD content and burn it to a Blu-Ray disc? I've seen these in stores, will they not play on PS3 for some reason?

» yeah, and pay 500$ for the BD player and 25$/DB? yeah right.

It's far cheaper than just buy DVDs and BDs :S



it's not like there is ULTIMATO movies on hd-dvd that you want THAT MUCH! lol



Maybe when the BDs will cost around 1$ and when the BD burner will cost around 99$ and when my download speed will exess 3mb/s (I'm only at 500kb/s right now, lol) than YEAH, cool! I'll download some HD-dvd movies, lol. But till then... multiple DVDs could be cool... OR better, ONE DVD9 full at max, it should ressemble a LOT what we did at first with DVD5, we would have a bit less quality, but so what, it would be better than DVDs (since we can remove things like spanish voice of ALL THE useless stuff they give with the movie, like director talking while is plays or scenes that they cut, etc., we would have a DVD9 with the quality of an HD-dvd (or almost at worse) THAT is cool!

» hmm

Except for maybe The Matrix Ultimate Collection, or Transformers. Or you could just get a BD player and a HD-DVD player. Then you will be able to watch any movie you want in HD without going through all this nonsense. HD-DVD players will be under $200 very soon.
