Consumers have pretty much always been the most affected party in a format war. With each format having its own share of exclusives, those who have picked one over the other have become left out of what the other has to offer.

There's some good news for Blu-ray supporters, though. Someone who goes by the handle of ps3videohelp has posted a video on Metacafe that supposedly works as a guide on how to convert HD-DVD content to Blu-ray without any re-encoding or loss of quality.

The content can then be burned onto a Blu-ray disc or multiple DVDs. Converted HD-DVDs can also reportedly be played using the Sony PlayStation 3 home video game console.

Anyway, you can check out the video below. Be warned, though: the quality's a bit on the low side, so you may have to be a little creative in trying to ascertain what the guide says.
