Will these discs work on a regular DVD player? Or do they require a blu-ray player to work?

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

These disks will not work in a regular DVD player as they require a "blue" laser, which emits a different light than the "red" ones used to play DVDs and those are not found in regular DVD players.

The ones I made with this machine do, not sure for others. I gave out edited home movies on DVD one year for Christmas and no one has had a problem playing them.

You need the software to play the unit. The software does not work on my machine. I even had a IT guy come install and it still had error when trying to play Blu Ray.

These are blu rays 25gb. They only play in blu ray players so you have to have a blu ray burner to burn anything to them.

I don't have Blu-Ray, but if they're the same size as cds and dvds, there's no reason it wouldn't work

We have never had any issue with a disk at all, if one of the bunch didn't work then I would say yes. Could happen, but if all don't play, you hve a problem with the blu Ray playing reg disk,

I know that this dvd player is not Blue Ray. I have not tried to play any in there because I do not have any, so I cannot say for sure! I suppose that if it can play them, it would not be with the Blue Ray quality... This dvd player even plays dvd's that are scratched, which otherwise would not work in most other players.

yes, we use them for DVD's and Blu Ray disks, no difference in CD's either.

Linda: Not sure if this will help or not, but some older players such as the Panasonics require only DVD - disks. If you are using DVD+ disks, they will not work in some older players. Newer players can accept both the + and the - versions. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes, you are supposed to be able to use this on blu rays. I haven't tried it myself yet. I caution you though. The machine doesn't really work all that well. Just today I tried to get a regular cd working properly. I went through the steps twice but I'm still having a problem with the picture freezing up and I can't even see where there is a scratch visually. So I'm probably going to have to buy something else to try anyway.

No you must have a blu-ray burner. Blu-ray burners will burn DVD's, but not the other way around.

Yes, the headphones will work with a blu-ray player. Make sure that your blu-ray player has an input jack for either a digital optical audio cable or a digital coaxial audio cable. The headphone transmitter has connections for both types of cables which allows you to connect to two separate audio sources. I have mine connected to my DVR via the coaxial cable and my blu-ray player through the optical cable. There is a switch on the transmitter that allows you to change between input sources. The headphones come supplied with a coaxial audio cable; however, you will need to purchase your own optical audio cable.

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.

Yes you can play Blu-ray movies. You need to buy a software program to play the movies. Yes it's a combo drive and will do DVDs and CDs.The Blu-Ray program I found that works best on my Windows 7 is from IDeer.
