Does the blu-ray player play DVD format? or just Blu-ray format?

Sorry; I have never used the player since receiving it. The other answers seem to say it does. If still not sure, Google the question using Samsung's model # or...go to Samsung's website and see if you can ask question of their customer service or tech. departments.

Any kind.. it comes with a Blu-Ray Reader and DVD RE-Writer Reader, which means it plays Blu-ray and DVD media and can burn blank DVD media.

It is a full version, however it is a few versions older than the current version. Yes, I can play Blu-ray discs correctly.

Yes. It plays all DVDs right out of the box no settings need to be set. Blu rays are a little different. You have to choose one area and then it only plays that area. To change to a different region you have to reset the player to that region. Instructions are included with the player. Hope this helps you.

Yes. Supported disk formats are: BD, BD-R,BD-RE, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-VIDEO, VCD, CD, CD-R/RW. Video Formats: H-264, VC1, MPEG 1/2/4. Audio formats: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, MP3. Photo Formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF. I just quoted the specs in the manual; it is a very versatile player. But I believe I read a review somewhere stating there was an old and a new VCD format; this unit will play the new VCD format but perhaps it may not play the old VCD format.

The only thing I use mine for is to play regular DVD's. It is supposed to play blu-ray, however mine will not play them. The streaming function is pretty bad too. I would not recommend this player.

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.

I use Imation dvd+ and dvd-, this player does play both formats, though would occasionally skip/slow up. Not sure if it is due to dirty discs or the dvd player itself. Good overall unit though.

Yep, it has a DVD writer. It'll play standard DVD and write to blank DVD. It does not have a Blu-ray writer/player...so it wont work with that format or hd-DVD

I had never tried to play movies, so I just put in a bluray and it didn't play, and then I put in a regular dvd and it did play... so it doesn't play blu-ray

Yes it will. You should have absolutely no problems whatsoever. The good thing about having a Blu-ray player is you don't have to update your DVD collection. You can play both Blu-ray and DVD discs. The only down side to the Blu-ray player is that most formats will be played with a black frame on the top and bottom of the screen with a older television. Other than that, you will view the movie as normal. You will enjoy your new Blu-ray player. Pick this convertor up, get a HDMI cable(which you will need to connect the player to the convertor), RCA cables(to connect the convertor to your television) and enjoy your birthday gift. By the way, you don't need to add any additional power to this convertor. Just plug and play. Hope this helps. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

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.

This unit is not a Blu-ray player, if you are trying to play a Blu-ray DVD than that is the problem. This unit will play conventional DVDs, all I did was inserted a DVD into the player and it launched Windows media player, I'm sure you can use any media player that you want to use that will play DVDs. If nothing else you can go to the windows menu and click on my-computer and find the icon that represents the player and double-click on it and you should get a menu of possible programs to open the player and click on one of those, one should be Windows media player and any other media player that you have.

Yes, you will need additional software to play the Blu-Ray format. Google Mac Blu-Ray player and you will find both paid and free software for doing so.
