You can point ClownBD to a HD-DVD just like you can point it to a blu-ray. You don't have to convert or preprocess anything. Despite the name it knows how to handle / process a HD-DVD. So, if you've got AnyDVD HD running you can just point ClownBD to the HD-DVD drive in your system or point ClownBD to a folder on your hard drive containing a rip of a HD-DVD. The basic functionality of it is no different than when it's working with a blu-ray input.
The only potential pitfall of the whole process is that DD+ is not compatible with Blu-Ray, so ClownBD will convert it to LPCM 5.1 audio (which is big) if you set the audio options to leave it alone (ie: not turn it into AC3). LPCM is not an ideal audio format either because it's large and some BD players can't encode it to DD5.1 or DTS on the fly. So if you play the resulting BD disc in a system with only a SPDIF audio connection you only get 2 channel audio (and perhaps not even a 2 channel mixdown just L&R from the 5.1). FWIW, I think the BD spec requires an AC3 mix on the BD if it has LPCM 5.1 audio.
