Blue Ray content on "plain old" DVD

Blue ray specification consists of two parts: blue ray disks (laser technology, cool lights, 50G - or more depending on number of layers, etc.) and the content specification- how menus are laid out, what codecs are supported, networking support, local storage and mandatory support of a subversion of Java specification (BDJ). I don't care about size. Lets pretend that I have 2 seconds of high def video (or potentially no content at all). I want to play with other parts of the specifications- menus, transitions, java code, etc. But I maybe kinda a little bit curious which does not to me justify a trip to Fry's for a BD burner and much less a $$ for mentioned burner.

First, its Bluray not Blue ray...

Second, there is a book (can't remember) that talks about the BDJ specs and has some examples. As of right now there is no cheap tool to help you create the menus/BDJ type stuff (ie. a game, etc...)

I think you can "develop" in Java, making sure you only use the BDJ calls, you can do it that way...but you'll have to wait until an affordable tool comes along to actually test it out...
