No. A blue ray disc has a blueray laser to read the HD disc. Also a blueray player needs a spinning reader to read the blueray disc. The spinning reader is also what is used to read DVD's and therefore will read DVD's. A DVD player does not need a blueray laser because the disc can be read without one. If you want a movie in HD but you don't want to buy a whole new player, you can buy a HDVD (HD DVD).A normal DVD player will read that.
No, because I tried it on my DVD player and it didn't work :(
Yes, you can. Generally, Blu-ray PLayer could support DVD, BUT Dvd player couldn't support Blu-ray Player. Macgo Mac Blu-ray Player which is a good example.
Sadly No, you need to either buy a blu ray player or you could try using your PC or PS3 to play blu ray. for PC u will have to download cyberlink powerdvd.
NO!
No
no.
No. They have different TV formats. The US use NTSC and our TV's are PAL. The only way to get around this is to either copy the DVD to your computer and re-burn it in NTSC format; or make sure that the DVD player is Multi-region.

Yes, when you rip a DVD you are just basically converting one file into another, leaving the original file on the DVD and creating a copy of that file in a different format on your computer. It does not erase the original file unless you have an erasable DVD disc and you choose to erase it.
In order to play a blu-ray disc on your computer, please make sure your computer has a blu-ray drive working and installed, so it can play the blu-ray disc. Then download a blu-ray player software from the Internet that is compatible with your blu-ray drive such as Mac Blu-ray Player.
digital video disc
No
A DVD player cannot play a BluRay disc. A BluRay player can play both BluRay discs and DVDs.
No. All current 3D disc content is HD and so use Bluray discs. You have to have a 3D Bluray player.
DVD players cannot play Bluray discs. The lasers and the data storage are different so no data can be read from a Bluray disc in a DVD drive. That is the case whether or not there is any up-scaling available in the player. Bluray players on the other hand are quite happy to play DVDs as well as Bluray discs.
No. DVD quality will be displayed whether the player is a DVD player or a Bluray player. DVDs won't be the same quality as a Bluray disc of course.
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.
A Bluray disc stores five times more data than a DVD. Therefore, a DVD will not have the capacity to store the contents of a Bluray disc.
Yes
Currently, no. You should get a PS3 to do that.
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.
A DVD player is a better decision than a BluRay player based on price alone. This type of player is cheaper. A BluRay player may be a better idea because it can also play DVDs and has more advanced features.
No it cannot you need a ps3 or a bluray player
