Does it support HDCD decoding? Will it play DVDs at 24p?

The Owner's Manual does not mention HDCD. Check out the pioneerelectronic website for a full list of features on the Product Sheet. Please note that the 62FD does not have RCA audio output ports so you can only take advantage of the built in 192›kHz/24-bit›Audio›DAC using HDMI. The 53FD has both HDMI and RCA audio output ports. The 53FD is hard to find at a reasonable price. I found a refurbished one at pioneers outlet website for a great price!

DVD are not encoded in 24p. Blu Ray discs are. So it will not play DVD in 24p, but i will play Blu Ray in 24p.

It plays both blue ray and regular DVDs. It does not play HD. Overall it has been an excellent player. However, do not upload the software upgrades. The player won't work after. Though lg did fix it for us since it was known issue.

It should play burned DVDs. I don't know how the shipping label would affect anything.

It has NTSC and PAL display modes. It changes the aspect a little bit. As for PAL-format DVDs, I am not sure.

Sorry, I really don't know. I bought mine to play Blu-ray disks only. The remote has a button for a couple of on line services, but I don't use them. Hope your question hit someone who does use these feature and you get an answer.

It plays DIVX, AVI, ISO's and all old platform HD Discs I have tried. Although I'm not sure which codec/platform you are specifically asking about. For the money, it is a good deal...I bought one and immediately bought a second for my other room. It plays MKV's also but only works through the USB port for those.

The 85's DVD 24P conversion is excellent, as is its upscaling w/24P. Just make sure you have 24P turned on in the Setup menu and then you will have to manually turn on 24P via the Display menu for DVD's you wish to playback in 24P. This manual setting is done because not all DVD's are 24Fps and it causes bad artifacts if played at the wrong frame rate. So, each DVD must be set to 24P manually, although Blu-ray is a native progressive format and so 'knows' the frame rate the disc was encoded in and plays it appropriately if 24P is set in the Setup menu. Even now, in 2013, many BD players are not good at converting DVD to 24P, or won't do it at all, so the BD85 is still superb for DVD's at 24P. Its BD picture quality is still state-of-the-art and unless you need 3D, nothing produces a better image - plus it has discrete 7.1 RCA audio outputs, which is a rarity on players today, but a must for those with older receivers that dont support TrueHD ot DTS-HD audio but do have multichannel inputs - if they don't wish to upgrade their receiver the BD85 will allow them to experience the modern lossless audio formats without being downsampled and reencoded to standard lossy Dolby Digital or DTS formats for compatability.

It plays DVDs like any other DVD player. Just switch it to the DVD setting rather than the hard drive setting

It should be able to, it reads everything thats below a Blu-ray disc. This type of drive is just really advanced DVD drive.

This will only stream digital media stored on storage that can be plugged in via USB or a compatible SD card. DVD's are optical and output the decoded video digitally via HDMI, they are not compatible. Sorry. The DVD could be decrypted and stored digitally on a USB stick that the media-share device could stream, but I'm guessing this is not what you require.

Yes it plays regular DVDs as well as DVD-R and +R. The only thing it will not play is HI-DEF DVDs. Mine is still working. Is this thing still available?

It will play multiple types of disks (CD, DVD, Multi-region) if that is what you mean. It only has a capacity for one disk.

Hello, thank you for your interest. The Super-Multi supports DVD Read/Write and CD Read/Write, but not Blu-ray.

As long you have the correct codecs for your OS, it should play. It has nothing to do with the dvd or blu ray drive, rather the player (software apps) playing the VLC files.
