HD TO m-HD

How can i turn a HD movie into a micro-HD movie

It really depends what you want to do with the "micro-HD" movie.....

I would start by converting the audio to AC3 (use eac3to) and converting the video to h264 (mencoder can do this)

Then mux it into the prefered container, i'm going to assume MKV so you would use MKVtoolnix for that.

I dont want to reduce the size of the resolution because my TV is 60" i suppose if i have to i could reduce it just a little. Can anyone tell me how to do this or an other advice.

Wanna start by telling us what device you intend on playing them back on?

You really need to provide more information if you want help.

Convert Video to h264 using your prefered tool making sure the profile is not set higher than 4.1, i use mencoder (if you would like a PS3 compatible command let me know)
Convert Audio to AC3 using eac3to, PS3 will not playback EAC3, DTS, True HD from a M2TS file.
Mux to a M2TS container using tsMuxer (PS3's will not accept MKV's, M2TS is the only container i have managed to get working correctly)
