Converting Blu-Ray to HD-DVD

I'm trying to convert a Blu-Ray to an HD-DVD structure (to be burned on a DVD for now). I've grabbed a trailer from a BR, ripped it to get the 000xx.m2ts file. It's an mpg2 (HD 1920*1080, 23,97) + ac3 file, and it's about 2m41s long. I've demuxed it using several sofs, like Xmuxer Pro Demo (elecard), MPEG streamclip (great freeware for AVCHD comecoder possessors) and TMpeg Encoder 4.0. Each time i got a nice m2v file + an Ac3 file (or mpa from Xmuxer, i don't know why). Up to here, everything is fine, now lets get into trouble: I've imported my files into MainConcept h.264 encoder to create an AVC file compatible with Scenarist SCA. Mainconcept says my file is 7sec long. I played it in MediaPlayer Classic, it says to me it's 2m24s. I imported it into PremierePro 1.5 and it says 5m15s (same in PremeirePro2 demo). That's here that i tried several demuxing tools, resulting the same. Right now, i don't know what to do to make my soft recognize the file correctly. Can it be an header problem in my m2v file ?

Good news, let us know how you get on. No idea about chapter points I'm afraid, although easiest way would probably be to load up the original disc, and skip through, noting the times down on pen & paper - oldskool!

Blu-ray to HD DVD I think, it is not The real problem. But, chapters yes. Extract it, not so easy, Plus convert it to structure HD DVD chapter seem to me more dificult. But things can changed: actually, time is not more(nothing). Good luck Yenaphe. :) NB: if "you have" some problem with Scenarist, don't hesitate to use Blu-print.

I hate to bring up an old topic, but I am having this same problem. I have the Terminator BD which I ripped then demuxed several times; using xport, xmuxer pro and graphedit. All three methods produced the exact same file (which tells me that I'm doing this step correctly). The running time of the movie should be 1:47:13. Both Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic shows the demuxed video file to be 1:16:17. Mainconcept H.264 Encoder shows it as 1:00:55 (both with opening the file straight and trying to pipe it through avisynth), and Sonic Cinevision shows it as 1:55:40. When viewing the file in either media player, when it reaches the 1:06 mark, it will still continue playing. I tried using dgpulldown as Yenaphe suggested; once with the default setting of 23.976->29.97, and a second time using "No Change". Neither had any effect. I am at a loss. Does anyone have any other info on how to overcome this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! I worked with Terminator 1&2 and i've converterd this films to SCA! 1. Demux with xport.exe, have file with 1920x1080x23.976 2. Re-Encode with Canopus ProCoder2 as source: 1920x1080x23.967, as target 1920x1080x23.967->29.97 3. Import to SCA - work fine! 4. AC3 audio at 640kbps -> BeLight (besweet) -> encode to 448kbs. All work fine!!!
