This Backup Blu-ray to DVD guide illustrates how to make a backup of your Blu-ray content using DVD media as storage, in four easy steps. The resulting DVD disc (Single Layer or Double Layer) is playable on standalone Blu-ray players or PS3. Since there is no encoding, the picture and audio are kept in original high definition quality.

Alternative With Blu-ray DVD Copy, you can watch HD movies on your common DVD players without expensive blu-ray players, saving much money for you. Perfect quality will be completely the same as the blu-ray movie.

You can use ImgBurn to build DVD Video discs from a VIDEO_TS folder, HD DVD Video discs from a HVDVD_TS folder and Blu-ray Video discs from a BDAV / BDMV folder with ease. Programs needed:

• TsRemux : to remux/demux transport stream files, trim unneeded streams (audio or subtitle) and much more
• HDBDSplitGUI: to split the resulting movies into multiple DVDs
• ImgBurn 2.4.0.0 or Nero Burning ROM: to burn the DVDs into UDF 2.50/2.60 format

Note: Transport stream (TS) is a communication protocol for audio, video and data as specified in MPEG-2 standard.

The BD2DVD Guide:

The source files can be from your High Definition (Blu-ray) Camcorder, Satellite/Cable/Over-The-Air/Fiber Optic HD broadcasts, or other Blu-ray content. You will need to transfer or rip them first to your hard drive for faster processing.

1. Run TsRemux (v.0.0.18 or higher). Load a transport stream M2TS or MPEG-2 file and TsRemux will show all elementary streams found.

TsRemux is a transport Stream Re-muxer with blu-ray/Sat/OTA and now MPG/VOB/EVOB stream support. Ability to trim streams at the beginning and/or the end, Ability to pick and choose elementary streams to be kept, Ability to remux PCR-less streams, Ability to remux program streams (MPG/VOB/EVOB) into TS/M2TS, Ability to demux elementary streams as well as subtitle streams compatible with SUPreader

Click on the streams you want to keep, in this guide we chose AVC Video Stream #17, Lossless PCM Audio Stream #1 and the subtitles Presentation Graphic Stream #1 (See Note below). Select “M2TS (192 byte packets)” checkbox and “Use async I/O” for maximum throughput. Click on Remux to start the process.

2. Now we will use HDBDSplitGUI to split the new MT2S file into several DVD. Load the new MT2S file in HDBDSplitGUI and enter the Split size. For DVD Single Layer: 4400 MB should be good. For DVD DL: 8050 ¨C 8100MB. In the Destination Folder: enter the folder name you want to save the result, then click Split. The program will create new M2TS files (part0001.m2ts, part0002.m2ts, ¡­ part00xx.m2ts)

3. Now we will need to generate Blu-ray disc structure from those new M2TS files by using TsRemux again. Load part0001.m2ts and enter the folder name in the Output File. Select all elementary streams and check “Blu-ray” output format.

4. The last step is to burn using ImgBurn (2.4.0.0 or higher) or Nero Burning ROM, use UDF 2.50 for playback compatibility. Reports states that UDF 2.60 also works.
