Will a HDMI up convert DVD player play blu-ray disks as well?
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.
What is the difference between Cds DVDs and Blu ray discs?
CDs, DVDs and BluRay discs all work in similar ways. The primary difference is the data density on each disc. CD is the lowest density. A DVD can store several times the amount of data on the same surface area and BluRay will store several time the amount of a DVD.
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.
Can a regular DVD player play 3D DVDs?
No. All current 3D disc content is HD and so use Bluray discs. You have to have a 3D Bluray player.
Can you copy blu ray disc onto DVD?
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.
How can you play a blu ray disc on your computer?
Both Mac and Windows can't play Blu-ray directly, so you need some third party software. VLC is a free one which can play some non-commercial disc.

Is a optical drive a input device?
It's input I think, not that sure, but I just know that it reads data from a disc and then views them onto the computer screen. :)
What is a BluRay burner used for?
The Blu-ray Ripper is to copy or compress or collect your own Blu-ray discs. DVDFab Blu-ray Ripper(dvdfab.at/blu-ray-ripper.htm) is a product that I have used over the years and I think it is very good, it does not damage the picture quality when copying and it is very easy to operate.
What does a double-layer drive mean?
Some DVDs are dual-layered, allowing twice the data to be stored on a single disc. The data is written into an extra layer in the disc itself, not on the back. A double layer-drive is a device that allows the reading and, depending on the model, recording of these discs.
Can a Sony DVD player play a Blu-ray DVD?
A DVD player cannot play a BluRay disc. A BluRay player can play both BluRay discs and DVDs.
Is optical storage a nonvolatile storage device or a volatile storage device?
It is nonvolatile, if you turn off the computer, the disc is not erased. (if you have a dvd bluray or cd and you turn off the cd, dvd, or bluray player the songs or movie on the disc is not erased). It does not use electrons to store data, it uses grooves and bumps in the disc and is read with a laser
