Making a DVD menu from a Blu-ray menu

Hi all,
I've created a menu for burning 2 movies (with scenes/chapters) to Blu-Ray and generated an ISO file for later burning to Blu-ray.
What I would like to do now is use the same menu to do exactly the same thing but create a disc image for DVD for later burning. I've re-rendered the movies as DVD and obviously want to change the menu to read those files instead of the Blu-ray ones.
Seems simple enough, but I' m struggling. Is there an easy way to do this or do I have to start the menu from scratch?
Any help would be appreciated.
Steve.

You're far better off starting from scratch.

I often produce identical BD/DVD projects, so I've done this many times. Change the project properties to DVD, then use the 'replace' dialogue to change the BD files to the DVD files.

Thanks Arthur. That seems simple enough. I'll give it a go tonight. Thanks also to Musicvid & VideoITguy.

Hi Arthur,
I've tried to follow your advice today (sorry it's taken so long!), but I can't find any reference to a "replace" dialogue. Can you tell me where I can find this and if possible guide me through the stages step by step.
Sorry to be a pain.
Thanks,
Steve.
