Face it, HD-DVD lost and Sony finally have something to celebrate. It's only fair - they spent all that money on Champagne before the PS3 launch, only to realise that they should have invested in something stronger (and perhaps some antidepressants).

So, assuming you are one of the lucky few who bought a load of HD-DVD content, you might be wondering what to do with it now that Microsoft have decided to let the format shrivel and die.

Worry not. Wired have a simple how-to that shows you how to convert your HD-DVD discs to the now victorious Blu-Ray format.

The technique requires a Windows PC running special software, A HD-DVD drive (you should be able to get one of these off of eBay for £cheap), a Blu-Ray burner and more free time than most people would sensibly want to devote to a project as pointless as this.

Once you've converted your copy of Transformers to Blu-Ray, you'll be needing something to play it on. Contrary to popular belief, the PlayStation 3 makes an excellent Blu-Ray player.

Not so much with the games, obviously, but if it's Blu-Ray playback you are after - go Sony!
