Will HD video burn/play on non blu-ray disc?

If I have a blu-ray video, can I burn it to a non blu-ray disc and play it on a upconvert DVD player? If so, which program do you guys recommend? I am currently using Nero.
 
What are you talking about? Are you talking a blu ray ISO? It will be too big to fit on anything other than a BR.

If you have a "blu ray video" as in ripped - it will still be too big. Unless its compressed, in which case you might as well get the DVD.
 
The video format that Blu-Ray uses can be played on other mediums such as a hard drive or DVD's, heck even CD's or smaller storage mediums. However, unless you shrink the video bit-rate or resolutions the size of the video file will be way way too big to fit on said smaller storage mediums.
 
lol, a dvd player is a dvd player. it will only ever produce sd quality video. dvd players only play mpeg2 sd video. upconverting is nothing but conversion from dvd resolution to hd resolution, a resizing conversion that does nothing magical, it cannot create quality from nothing. dvd has 6 times less resolution than hd after all. the only assumption that makes upconvert dvd players possibly a good thing is that their converter maybe better than your tvs. and perhaps its better to do it earlier in the process.

anyways if its an h264 bluray iso rip that fits on a dvd its 720p at best. web rips are bitrate starved to force fit for piracy. won't play on a dvd player in any case.
