Blu-ray Players

No. But you can play a regular disc in the Blu Ray player

Not only because Blu-Rays hold up to 50GB of data (5 times more than DVDs), but the technology used to build and read the discs are some of the highest technologies these days

A Samsund DVD Player does come with the bluRay capability. on other ocassions you will need to upgrade your software. To be more sure, check the manual that came inthe box where you purchased the item.

yes, blu-ray discs are scratch proof, they can last way longer than dvds. but blu-ray discs can fingerprint.

Region 3.

That depends on the kind of 3D TV you have. If your 3D TV has a 2D to 3D conversion feature than yes, you can watch any 2D program in 3D. LG makes good 3D TVs that are affordable and have 2d to 3d conversion feature (other cheaper makers don't have that feature included). I have a LW6500 model (Cinema 3D line) from LG and 3D-converted images look great.

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 has been called "a bag of hurt" for a long time by Jobs because all Mac machines don't ship the capability to play Blu-ray. So if you wanna do this, you have to take advantage of some third party program. Macgo Mac Blu-ray Player is the most used software on Mac which really works fine on all Mac models.

Yes. The Blu-Ray's blue laser (hence the name) also recognizes DVDs. But the DVD's laser does not recognize Blu-Rays

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.

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.

It's a drive that can play Blu-ray discs and standard DVD discs. Most DVD drives can only play standard DVDs-they can not play Blu-ray discs. All Blu-ray drives can play standard DVDs, unless the DVD is not a region recognized by the Blu-ray player.

2 choices:

First, you've placed a wrong formated Disc into the unit, or a CD instead of a DVD...

Second, the unit doesn't have a Disc installed, or it's just "dead" and can't read any Formated Discs...

Yes, but Blu-Rays cannot be played on DVD players

A DVD player cannot play a BluRay disc. A BluRay player can play both BluRay discs and DVDs.

Blu-ray disc (official abbreviation BD and official shortened name is Blu-ray) is an optical disc storage medium designed to supersede the DVD format. The standard physical medium is a 12 cm plastic optical disc, the same size as DVDs and CDs. Blu-ray Discs contain 25 GB per layer, with dual layer discs (50 GB) the norm for feature-length video discs and additional layers possible in the future.The name Blu-ray Disc refers to the blue laser used to read the disc, which allows information to be stored at a greater density than is possible with the longer-wavelength red laser used for DVDs.

Blu-Rays can hold up to a maximum of 50 GB of data, which is 5 times more data than a DVD can hold at a maximum

Yes, the PS3 or PlayStation 3 console can play Blu-ray movies.

Conventional (pre-BD-XL) Blu-ray Discs contain 25 GB per layer, with dual layer discs (50 GB) being the industry standard for feature-length video discs. Triple layer discs (100 GB) and quadruple layers (128 GB) are available for BD-XL drives.

If your player allows USB flash drives and/or SD cards, then yes

Try 740, 722, 723 or 751. The 723 code worked for me.

No. Blu-Rays will only work on Blu-Ray players. But DVDs can be played on a Blu-Ray player

It's a DVD video in the NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) video format (analog TV) which is 525 lines of resolution.

The cheap brands such as LG and Vizio will work in the cinema but when you are given glasses every time you visit the theater, why would you want to?
