Down-convert AVC Intra 100 to 480-60i?

I shot a recent project for a client who had no idea what mode the video needed to be shot in. The only thing he did know was that it had to be 16:9. I shot in 1080-60i AVC-Intra 100. The client's editor now says that the footage was supposed to be in SD (480-60i--DVC pro50).
Is it possible to downconvert to the proper format while transferring the video to an external hard drive?

You'd have to process the footage through an NLE or an application like Apple Compressor or Canopus ProCoder or Adobe Media Encoder, but it should certainly be easy to do.
 
I would think that most editors could handle this themselves. I's also consider an additional charge to convert since you provided it in the format the producer requested
 
Hey Barry,
Adobe Media seems to have done the job easily as you said. As far as the other files such as Lastclip.txt, trashes and spotlight files-should those be manually copied to the same folder as the converted contents?
Thanks,
Steve

The spotlight and trashes folder will never show up if you observe one key aspect to workflow: write-protect your cards before you ever let the computer access them! Always.

And when offloading the footage, always copy the entire contents of the card.
 
Thanks for the "Write-protect" info. I've only been working in the P2 world for a couple of weeks now and I'm sure I'll be picking up quite a few more tid-bits like that along the way.
The reason I asked about the Lastclip.txt and the other files is because when the converted material is exported out of Adobe Media Encoder all you get is the "Contents" folder containing the Audio, Icon, Video etc... folder without the last clip.txt file.
