If you play a regular DVD on a Blueray machine, you will only get the quality of the original DVD. There is not enough information stored on the disc to do otherwise.

Does the Phillips Home Theater system have a Bluray player?
No, it will not play Bluray discs, but it is upscaling, so you can watch your regular DVDs at HD quality.
Do you lose quality of standard dvds playing on Blu-ray player?
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.
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.
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.
Are normal DVDs allowed on blu ray DVD players?
Yes, dvds can be played on bluray players.
Can you play regular DVDs on a PS3 Slim?
Yes you can and the PS3 will upgrade them to near HD quality.
Does a Sony Blu-ray play 3d Blu-ray?
Bluray players are backwards compatible so they will play standard DVDs as well as Bluray discs. Note that although the DVD is being played by a Bluray player, it does not make it HD quality. Some bluray players will up-convert the standard definition image from 480 or 576 lines up to 1080 lines but although the format is HD, the image quality still remains standard definition.
Do bluray DVD players play HD DVD's?
No and HD DVDs have been permanently discontinued
Will Blu-ray disc players play the Blu-ray disc on a regular tube TV?
Most Bluray players can play either DVDs or Bluray discs using a standard definition television. Almost all Bluray players have an analog composite, S-video or component output that can be used. Before purchasing, check that the player has an output that the television can accept. Note that the quality of the image will be standard definition and not HD. All Bluray players today limit their analog outputs to SD so even with an HD television, analog inputs will not deliver HD images.
Do BluRay DVD players also play non Blu-Ray DVD's?
Yes, BluRay DVD players also play non Blu-Ray DVDs with no problem.
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.
Are Blu-ray movies longer than DVD?
A 2 Disc DVD movie can fit on a single Blu-Ray Disc and be in HD which is more GB. The length of a Movie remains the same, but the Blu-ray has more room to add extras besides the movie.
