Will the disc play in a regular BD player to be viewed on a TV? Eg When I burn a movie?

Hi, the DIG-79112 you are looking at only comes with REWIND Archiving software, allowing you to permanently archive your digital assets to scratch resistant Blu-ray disc on your PC or your Mac.

It is backwards compatible so will work like a regular DVD. Will play regular, blu ray and 3D DVD's. You can't run 3D unless you have a newer 3D TV, but any tv will show a regular or blu ray DVD.

I never had to do any of that with mine, thank goodness. I use DVD-R, I burned, I finalized, and they play in my Samsung and my Mac Mini's drive.I had something odd happen the other day, though; a DVD I ordered from Netflix wouldn't play, even after I cleaned it up, but same DVD would play in my computer's drive. It was a foreign film, but I wonder what it was about a commercial disc that would make the Samsung spit it out every time, telling me "please check the disc"? That's the only time that's happened! I wonder if by now it's time to clean the laser.

By far, the majority of my high def wish list is on HD DVD exclusively. For me, the question was never "should I buy HD DVD" it was "should I buy a player that will allow me to play the odd BD too". Both formats will be around for years to come, and I think that smart buyers are among the early adopters of the universal/dual player formats.

Yes, it plays regular DVDs just fine, Though I have lots of issues with this model when it comes to playing Blue-rays. I would recommend a different player.

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! 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

To be able to use the Valuedisc BD-R discs you have to have a blu ray burner, they will not work in a regular dvd burner.

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!!!

No Sir, its only a Bluray player, it will not record In the Bluray format. However it will record regular DVDs.

Tv isn't the issue as all you need to do is hook up bd player to any tv around the world with hdmi. This player can play dvds and be discs from any region. I've tried discs from Japan, Europe, and U.S.

I would guess no. Your tv would need software to play movies. So unless your tv explicitly states in the manual that it has the software to recognize and play dvd and bd's from usb, I would say no.

It depends on how you burn it. You can set your computer drive to burn a disc as a "Data" disc ( only a computer can read it ) or as a DVD which will allow it to play on a DVD player.

No I'm afraid the Bluray itself is READ only. But it can burn DVDs and CDs. At least with all the various video editing software I have on mine---none of them recognizes a blank Bluray as useable.

I am not the seller, but if it will read a Blu-ray, it will certainly read/play regular DVDs. Plus the specs say it will: look at READ DVD-ROM(which means that it will read DVDs that are already burned with information).

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
