BluRay DVD9 to DVD5

[DaRk_SoUl_DS]

Hi there

I've been googling and searching doom9's forum and I haven't found any solution to this. So, is it possible? Is it doable at this time?
Is there any "simple" way to "compress" a BluRay DVD9 to DVD5?

thanks in advance

What is a "BluRay DVD9 to DVD5" ?

A blu-ray is a blu-ray, either 25Gb or 50Gb.

A blu-ray sturcture on a DVD is called AVCHD. It supports mp4 AVC video with LPCM/Dolby2.0/Dolby5.1 audio in SD & HD resolutions on DVDs. You can play it on blu-ray players, the PS3, or a PC.

Most tools (like nero vison or sony vegas) only do AVCHD resolutions of 1440x1080 & 1920x1080, so a full movie won't fit on a DVD5; you'll need at least a DVD9.

But ulead have just released their HD plugin for Moviefactory. It can also do SD resolutions so it will fit on DVDs sized 1.6Gb to 8.5Gb. It will also author AVCHD menus.

OK, I was misunderstood.
I meant a BluRay "rip", a compression with x264 video codec (mkv format) to a DVD5/9 filesize. Any possiblity to compress it further from DVD9 to DVD5?

Thanks in advance.

Sure, if you want to rip to mkv, but then you can only play in on a pc. You can also rip to mp4 (but the sound will then be AAC5.1).

If you want mp4 (AVC+AAC5.1) with an easy newbie friendly gui that does a great job Nero Recode seems to be the best.

Otherwise you have tools like automkv and megui. First you rip the blu-ray movie to your HD (with i.ex anydvd). You can then easily do mkv or mp4.

By a Blu-Ray DVD9, do you mean a rip of a Blu-Ray DVD you've made that fits on a DVD9?

If so, why don't you just re-rip it with a lower bitrate?

Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but AVCHD and compliant BD AVC are 2 different codecs. I don't believe any BD disc supports AVCHD.

AFAIK, and that is the reason I dont like BluRay:
- AVCHD does not work on every Player
- BDMV on BD-R does not work on every Player
- BDAV on BD-R does not work on every Player

The situation for HD-DVD is better. U can author what U want, and as long, as the media is readable by ur player, it should play. The separation BDAV/BDMV is idiotic.

FAVC can convert .mkv file to DVD format. You need to install something like K-Lite Codec Pack or whatever other codec you like that can read .mkv

ConvertXtoDVD can too.

I don't have the BR source. Just the 8 GB .mkv rip.

Fishman0919, that's still not what I'm looking for. What I'm looking for is a way to further re-compress the mkv file so it can fit a DVD5.

Thanks in advance and thanks all the answers so far.
