Do you also have a Blu-Ray burner?

I am assuming, since you posted the question in this forum, that you are wondering if VS can do the job. But I am not sure that it can. As you would realise, if you select Blu-Ray as the output format, VS would convert the standard definition input video into Blu-Ray format during the burning process. I cannot think of a way to prevent VS from doing this.

There may be other programs out there that can do it (Nero 8?). But I also wonder if it is more a question of using the Blu-Ray disc as a data disc i.e. just storing the SD video on it as archived files, rather than as something requiring a Blu-Ray video disc format. And VS of course will not burn data discs. I know nothing about your LG player, but if it is at all like my PlayStation 3, it should see the Blu-Ray disc as a data disc, and you can open the files individually by using the player controls to navigate to the folders on the disc, where it should then recognise their video formats and play them.
