How can you fix your blu ray DVD?
You can use wax and polish and sometimes glue and tape to repair a scratched or broken DVD. Deep scratches may not be repairable, and may require professional help. Discs broken into two or more pieces are generally not repairable. Apply a tiny amount of plastic glue to the crack, using a pin or toothpick.

Blu-ray Disc (also known as BD or Blu-ray) is an optical disc storage medium designed to supersede the standard DVD format.
Its main uses are for storing high-definition video, PlayStation 3 video games, and other data, with up to 25 GB per single layered, and 50 GB per dual layered disc. Although these numbers represent the standard storage for Blu-Ray drives, the specification is open-ended, with the upper theoretical storage limit left unclear.
200 GB discs are available, and 100 GB discs are readable without extra equipment or modified firmware.
The disc has the same physical dimensions as standard DVDs and CDs.
The name Blu-ray Disc derives from the blue-violet laser used to read the disc. While a standard DVD uses a 650 nanometer red laser, Blu-ray uses a shorter wavelength, a 405 nm blue-violet laser, and allows for almost ten times more data storage than a DVD.
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.

How do you wireless connect samsung Blu-ray player to belkin router?
It may not be easy.
My assumption is that you want to listen to the TV without disturbing others in the room. This requires that your headphone connection should either cut off the TV's sound through the speakers, or should be independent of the TV's sound volume setting.
Many TVs have a sound jack, but not all of them cut off the speakers when a plug is inserted. The easiest way to hook up your wireless headphones to the TV is to plug the input to the transmitter into the TV's sound jack. But this will require the sound to be played at an audible level, and if the jack does not cut off the sound to the speakers, you may disturb others.
Some TVs have left-right sound outputs on the back or bottom of the set, usually marked with red and white jacks. If your TV has these, plug the transmitter for your wireless headphones into these jacks. They should be independent of the TV volume controls. But many TVs do not have sound outputs.
Finally, if you are watching TV through some device (like a blu-ray player) you may be able to plug the headphone transmitter into the player's stereo outputs. But if you're watching live sports, this won't help.
Can a blu-ray DVD be played on an HD DVD player?
No. An HD DVD will only play on an HD DVD player. This format was released in competition with BluRay. It lost the battle after about one year and was withdrawn from sale. There are few HD DVD players and discs around and none have been made for a number of years.
the demise of the HD DVD video format should not come as a surprise when the two formats are compared and closely examined. First, the quality of both in terms of picture and sound are a huge step up from a regular DVD in resolution. However, when further investigating Blu-Ray, the storage capacity is four times greater than that of High Definition DVD. In my opinion, this is perhaps the largest deal breaker for High Definition DVD.
Unless the disc has some sentimental value, there is probably little point in retaining it.
