Yes, but Blu-Rays have the most of the movie experiences than DVDs, such as more bonus material that can be accessed while watching the movie

bluray
Ps3 games run on what format?
They run on BluRay discs.
Can you play Blu-ray discs on regular DVD player?
BluRay discs carry high definition television and therefore store data in a high density format. A standard definition DVD player will not recognise a BluRay disc and will simply report an error if one is loaded. On the other hand, a BluRay player will not only play BluRay discs but will also handle standard DVDs. Most will also recognise and play CD format discs. Most Bluray players will also down convert the HD signal from a BluRay disc so that it can be viewed on a standard definition television. In this case, of course, the image quality will be the same as any other standard definition signal. To benefit from the high definition signal, an HD television is also required.
What kind of DVD player will play HD DVDs?
To play a high definition DVD, you need a high definition DVD player. There are two types available currently. HD DVD, developed by Toshiba is one and BluRay, developed by Sony is the other. They are not compatible, so an HD DVD will not play on a BluRay player and a BluRay disc will not play on an HD DVD player. BluRay looks like it is the winner in the format war between the two companies over the last years so it is likely that Toshiba's format will disappear in the coming months. Note that HD DVD can refer to the Toshiba format but it can also refer to high definition DVDs in general.
Does a Blu-ray tv have a better picture than an lec tv?
Bluray is the disc format developed by Sony for HD video content. It is not a television format and only refers to the storage medium. All Bluray disc players need a display and it may be plasma, LDC or LED based. It is therefore impossible to compare Bluray to types of TV.
Can you record blueray movies with blank DVD disks?
No. A standard DVD disk does not have the capacity to record a movie in BluRay format.
Will a Blu-ray player upgrade the display of regular DVDs in all cases?
No it won't. Many DVD players and Bluray players feature an up-scaling function to output standard definition content in an HD signal format. This does not improve the quality of image.
When friends the tv show is going to be released on blu ray?
Friends was filmed using 16mm film and standard definition video. There is no HD archive of the program because HD wasn't around when the program was being produced. Although a Bluray version will probably become available in the future, the resolution will remain SD even though it has been stored in an HD format. No doubt, the mastering will include some enhancements to improve the apparent quality but don't expect a Bluray version of the program to rival genuine HD content. It is likely that Friends and other programs from the same era are some way down the Bluray release list.
What is the best electronic book available for download?
There is no easy answer for the best electronic book available. Just like regular books, it depends on what you like to read. More and more authors are making their books available in E-format.
What is bluray used for?
Blu-ray or Blu-ray Disc is a digital optical disc data storage format. It was designed to supersede the DVD format, and is capable of storing several hours of video in high-definition.
What kind of TV for Blu-ray player?
Any television will work with a Bluray player but to get the full quality of the Bluray format, you will need an HD television with an HDMI input. Televisions that do not have an HMDI input can use the analog output from the player but the signal will be SD rather than HD.
Can you play an HD DVD in a Blu-ray player?
The introduction of high definition discs saw two formats launched. Bluray is one and HD DVD was the other. The format war was won by the Bluray system and HD DVD was withdrawn in 2009. Both Bluray and HD DVD are high definition players but note that "HD DVD" is the name of the format and is confusingly close to the generic description of high definition disc players. Bluray and HD DVD are not compatible so a disc of one type will not play on the other format. There are a handful of dual format disc players but they were expensive and few were sold. If you have HD DVD discs then you need to hand on to an HD DVD player if you want to watch them. All high definition discs on sale now are Bluray and of course will need a Bluray player to play them.
