Does this actually play blu-ray? I read that the SuperMulti DVD burner does NOT play blu-rays.

Blu-ray?? Naaa, is too cheaper to come with blu-ray!! Can play blu-ray ripped videos like MKV extentions or Mpeg with Xvid or DivX compression, but not blu-ray disc phisically!! Sorry!!

Yes it burns DVD, and no, it won't play Blu Ray, it doesn't matter if it has HDMI, it needs a Blu Ray drive to play it.

It's crazy. I have an LG Blu Ray player and it has always resumed played on all blu ray disc. However just bought my dad a blu ray player (sony) for fathers day and it does not resume play. I had never heard of the issue before and it is unreal that this is a problem. I cannot believe they can't fix that.

I have a problem with this Blu-Ray player, too... but my problem is different. The system sound is fine, and it plays regular DVDs just fine... but if we try to play a Blu-Ray, the play keeps getting interrupted and/or randomly skipping forward or backward by itself. We even took the batteries out of our remote control thinking maybe that was the problem, but the system still randomly stopped/skipped around in playing the Blu-Ray. Any ideas?

I live in the central Ohio region.Yes-- generally, Blue- Rays players can play DVDs but DVD players cannot play Blu- Ray Discs.

I don't use it to play Blu Ray discs but I believe if you get a decent video application that it will play Blu Ray discs.

For sure it plays normal DVD discs. I haven't tried 2D blu-ray myself, but the promotional literature says it will. In fact, it won't play 3D blu-ray unless you have a 3D TV (obviously).

I guess my question is: will this blue-ray player, play regular dvds, as well as others? I'm not that big into the movie scene, but it would be nice to watch my reuglar dvds, in HD quality. I do have an 1080p HDTV with all the works if that helps...please...I don't need a top of the line, just a decent blue-ray player..thanks! Note: I don't do streaming & special downlaods for movies, I just need something simple to use, yet that is good quality. I'm not a techno-person!

Do the specs of the Blu-ray match the specs of the burner/player? Is this is bought movie ; does it work with other Blu-ray movies?

I have two of them and they both play CDs and DVDs just fine . I would recommend updating the firmware to the most current one . You most likely though will have some issues playing some of the newer blu ray releases but otherwise it's a great player . Good luck

If you are asking if it plays the obsolete HD-DVD *format* that was briefly produced in 2006/07, the answer is no.However, all Blu-ray players will play *standard* DVD and upconvert them to simulated high definition.

i found that most of the blu ray burners come with a very minimal software. the unit uses special drivers that will install from the supplied disk, but you will have to use another program to do the actual burning. i got mine from ashampoo burning studio 14, and it works well. i think the drivers are included with the program. i hope that helps..ray

It only lists the following formats as playable: Multi-format playback: Capability now includes DVD-/+R, DVD-/+RW, VCD, SVCD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 playback for flexible playback options.BD is not among them. I say that because, while I own one, I've never actually tried putting a blu-ray disc directly into the drive. As far as I know, it is strictly a DVD player. I use a PS3 for my blu-ray needs.I would opt for something else if you want blu-ray capabilities.

I'd like to know the same thing. I own the computer but have not gotten it to play a blu-ray movie. ??!!

It's supposed to play both, however after six months mine stopped playing regular dvds and will now only read blu-ray. It is also SUPER SLOW to load. You'd be better off getting one of the new quick loading ones. You can put a blu-ray in this one, go to the kitchen, make dinner, come back, and it still might not be done getting ready. Especially with newer discs that need a downloaded update to the machine's software.

It plays both regular DVDs and bluray DVDs beautifully. I have not tried to record DVD movies. Have used DVD-Rs to write data/files and it works just fine. Also copied CDs that worked fine too.

Yes it plays Blu-ray's on my pc just fine. Try downloading Blu-ray disc advisor, it will tell you where your problem is.
