Kathleen,Yes, you can play Blu-Ray discs, DVD discs and even CD-Audio discs.This model supports the 110v/60hz U.S. standard. You may want to check if regions outside of the U.S. would be compatible.Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

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.

I don't think so. Most BluRay players will play DVDs, But Dvd players don't usually play BluRays.

As long as you have the codecs for DVD, any Blu Ray player will play them. If you're using Windows, Media Player will have the correct codecs.

It USED TO play both blu-ray and non blue-ray DVDs. All blu-ray players that I know of ARE SUPPOSED TO play both. After a software update, it stopped playing regular DVDs (other people mentioned this, too). After trying to find a FIX on the internet, we gave up and purchased a SAMSUNG blu-ray player. I recommend that you buy a new model (and not LG). They are inexpensive. Unless this model is FREE, you would be better off getting something else. [Note: LG might now have a correction for the software update problem. We dumped ours about 2 years ago.]

You will always need software for a computer Blu-ray drive to play actual blu-rays. I think power DVD supports Blu-ray now, but with a little easy work, you can download 2 plugins for VLC media player and it will play Blu-rays perfectly, and it's all free.

I don't see a blueray logo on mine. I don't think it plays bluerays. however, the DVD drive in laptops are standard, modular, easy to replace and fairly inexpensive so you could swap it out for a blueray player of your choosing.

NO it does not play Blue Ray disks. It has a "DVD-SuperMulti Drive" that plays/records anything from CD-R's up to DVD+RW (Re-Write) disks. A laptop that would play Blue Ray's would say it has a BD-ROM optical drive.

This will only play content from CD/DVD disks. If the disk says "blue-ray" (which is popular for new HD movies) this won't play it! You will need to look for a player that can play blue-ray disks.

I believe the answer is no. The Mac OS does not support Blu Ray playback at this time. I read on cnet.com that you can do this if you install Windows on the Mac and use an external Blu drive but even then, the results were not that great from what the article stated.

Not all blue ray players play dvds, check your owners manual to see what formats it will accept, IE: Blue ray, Dvd+R,Dvd-R,DivX,CD,etc.

I have no idea what A/1 region blue rays are but if you go into any store and it says blue ray disc....it plays. Remember that most blue ray players can play regular dvds but non-blue ray players cannot.

As far as I know my drive is NOT blueray. It is labeled as 3D capable so I asume that is in DVD mode. One sure way of determining if the drive is Blue Ray is to check the drive door for the Blue Ray symbol. A "b" with a backward "C" underlined with the words "Bluray".
