Well, what the hell, why not?
Okay, since the OP hasn't been particularly clear on the what or why, let's assume a few things:
1) The OP wants to convert the HD-DVD rip to Standard Def (480i or 576i)
2) There is a good reason for doing this, e.g. the SD version of Fight Club is 2.35:1 AR and cropped compared to the 16:9 HD version. (It is, by the way)
Given those assumptions and not knowing the specifics of the file formats, here's what you do, basically:
1) Get AviSynth. It's text-based but it makes things WAY easier.
2) Make an appropriate script to load up your files, which will consist of these basic steps:
2a) Loading up each file, and joining multiple files together if necessary. If you have multiple TS files this can make things easier, especially using the "SegmentedDirectShowSource" function, which can automatically load up 100 files at once with one line of code.
2b) Clean up the video, if necessary. This is where you do things like Telecine removal (removing duplicate frames that are part of the encoding method) and noise removal.
2c) Convert the framerate, if necessary. If you have an NTSC source (24 fps) and you're in a country with PAL video (25 fps) you'll have to speed up the video, or slow down for the other way.
2d) Resize the video. There's a minor crop thing you have to do for 1080i/p video, but this is pretty straightforward. For NTSC you resize to 720x480, for PAL 720x576.
3) Load up your avs (avisynth) file into a compatible DVD encoder. TMPGEnc works, as does DIKO and even Nero if you enter the file name manually.
So, basically, it's not a "one-click" process. It takes a little time to do, and a bit of skill too. If you're still interested you can PM me with the specifics of your source files and I can walk you through it. Otherwise, there's a backup plan:
1) Download the DVDr release.
