Best Answer

A Blu ray player will play a standard DVD (as long as the region code is compatible).

You should check your Blu ray player for upscaling capability (with upscaling, the Blu ray player will deliver the highest possible quality even from standard DVD's - otherwise you will only get full performance from Blu ray discs).
