if i plug my blu ray player in...will it capture off that...i saw it said dvd player...is blu ray player gonna be compatible?

Of course it's compatible. It's the video signal that gets captured, not the disc format. All a blu ray player is is a dvd player with a smaller wavelength laser. This means the disc can hold more information, giving it a higher resolution. As long as you use component video to component video, S-video to S-video or HDMI to HDMI it doesn't matter where the original signal came from. I use this thing with old VHS in order to digitize old home movies. It even works with digital camcorders.

Yes it will. Use the hdmi cable for best results next would be the component cables.

Yes it should work with a blu ray player. Ive captured video from my ps3 and its basically a blu ray player.

It has a Blu Ray player built in to the main control box but I don't know anything about it's compatibility. I had it for such a short time and it didn't function with my TV cable box and blocked all signals to the TV.

Try putting in a USB memory stick and then updating firmware. You could plug another blu ray player in to this device using an optical digital cable. I plugged an Xbox in that way, until throwing the whole thing away and swearing off LG devices in this line. The player is junk and LG washed their hands of it and orphaned it.

I believe it needs to be connected directly to the tv via a HDMI cable. Using your tv remote, you choose the source of the incoming signal wether its TV, HDMI 1, HDMI 2, PC ect. Whichever HDMI it's plugged into, it will say right next to it "player". Choose that one and the player automatically loads to the Blu Ray player menu screen. When done with Blu Ray, go back to TV remote and return the source button to TV and your cable box or Direct TV will fire back up. I assume you mean the DVR from Direct. You cannot record from the BLU ray onto the Direct TV DVR to my knowledge. Hope this helps/ I believe it needs to be connected directly to the tv via a HDMI cable.

I don't think so. But, as I am concerned, I wouls not rebuy that player. Cannot read many many DVD Blu ray.

I guess if you dont have a DLNA TV you can use the blu-ray player as receiver (connected to the tv).That would be why I would be looking for a DLNA enabled blu-ray player

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

I hooked it up to the TV. Works OK but no sound in the rear speakers (surround) for regular TV or the online stuff. I wonder if the online stuff would be better (surround, etc.) if plugged into the Blu Ray player. The other annoying thing is I have to use three remotes and have to keep switch the blu Ray to "D in 1" to get any sound from TV/internet.

It will work plugged into your blu ray player (or any other player) USB port ONLY IF such a player is properly connected or attached to the network using the required protocols. Blu ray players available on a network are usually installed in a computer, and it is the computer that is connected to the network, not the blu ray player, per se.. the player is simply a network ´share´ that the computer has available on the network.

I contacted Sony support and this is what they said:"I'm sorry that the resume playback feature of the Blu-ray Disc player does not work. Sometimes, the player may not resume playback depending on the disc or stop point."Not very helpful. Not sure yet if this happens on all BD disc but it happens on Casino Royal, which is Sony produced... Very lame IMO.

I think if it's not a HD player it wont read it. At least that's what the manual says, and other threads that I've read. That goes for DVD's too. If it's not a HD player it won't read it and won't play it. I believe that this unit isn't HD.

Have not tried a blu ray player. It does work we'll with digital signage players, servers, pc's, and xbox consoles.

Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem. I went to the Sony web site and contacted David P. on their chat link and asked the HDMI hook up question.His reply is as follows: "I'd be happy to assist you with that. There is one HDMI connection on those systems that connects to your Television. Once you have connected that, you would then plug any other devices that you have (Cable Box, Game Systems etc) to your TV via HDMI and it will send the sound to the surround sound system." Sounds like it should work but have yet to try it. Good luck. Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem.

Yes- We play very few Blu-ray and the unit has had no issues with either commercial DVD's or most I have burned in the past. It does not play DVD ROM's (which kind of stinks because I'd burned a lot of older TV series to this format) It also will not play most +R recorded media (sometime yes, usually no) so check what media you burned to.

the blu-ray must have a different/unique frequency. different than others i would try ordering the remote from the company that made the dvd player(i am a certified microsoft programmer ask away i love to answer)

The answer to both would be yes. I don't think I've ever heard of a Blu-ray player that won't play DVD's as well.

Don't know what's up with that. Plays my DVDs just fine. If your DVDs are Blue Ray, that might be why. It might not play Blue Ray. My DVDs are not, so again, they play fine. =-)
