Why? HDMI has this feature called HDCP, which is an encryption system that encrypts the HDMI connection. Most of the HDMI to s-Video converters would require that the HDMI signal be sent without HDCP which won't happen for any bluray.
There are some things that strip HDCP but they can be iffy as to how well they work and THEN you have to go buy a converter box. In short to actually do it right is going to be quite a bit more expensive than you think. You're better off buying a new projector if that's what you want to use rather than trying to jury rig a solution.

Will it play the Blu-Ray in a DVD quality for now? Buying a new projector is not an option yet.
CPD are you saying that it will definitely not show any Blu-Ray? Or will it show them (I'm repeating myself) with only a DVD quality?
