Do you need a Blu-ray DVD player to play these video's when converted to DVD?

Hi Gaius, no, you don't. Regular DVD Players can play converted DVD videos. -Vincent

I burned mine to a regular DVD-R disc and it plays back just fine in my non Blu-ray DVD player.

As far as I know, it's JUST a DVD player...Blu Rays won't play on DVD players but DVD's will play on Blu-Rays. I think the price would be a lot higher if it were a Blu Ray player. Do not buy this if you're looking for a Blu-Ray Player.

No blu-ray player with this system. It is basically speakers for your TV. You can connect a blu-ray player or CD player to this home theater system.

I'm assuming that you can. I usually just play them on our DVD player. Hope this helps.

I don't have any Blu-Ray discs and cannot find any reference whether or not this computer will play them. I assume that it does not.

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.

Yes, it does. In fact, all blu-ray players are backward compatible so it can play your regular DVDs and even upscale them which improves the quality over standard dvd players. Blu-ray players also play many kind of formats such as music CDs, mp3 CDs, jpg. CDs and several more. Streaming ability of services like Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, etc. is actually why most people buy such systems. In other words, you get much more than just blu-ray capability...

The unit does not include a DVD/Blu-ray player. But of course, you could play from external sources by connecting via HDMI cable.

yes! I play mkv files on mine from an external hard drive. Occasionally the mkv will not read well on the blu ray player, even though it plays on a computer, but this is rare. good luck! -Jay

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.

If your dvd player ( most likely from 2008 and on) is a newer one it should be able to play those formats. If it is an older model you will have to encode (change it a readable format) your content. Blu-ray players should handle those extensions just fine without any encoding. This program I do not believe will do any type of encoding or file conversion. You will have to get another Nero program or some other program that will. So, burning your files, not a problem. If you dvd player accepts those extensions is another matter.

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.

Yes they can, actually they only play the same DVD - these are just monitors - you will need a DVD or blue ray player

of course not, blurays will never work in a dvd player just like a dvd will not work in a cd player

Yes, but you'd be better off with a regular blu ray player, unless you've got a substantial HDDVD collection.

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