It plays DVDs but not Blue Ray. The picture quality is excellent. It is good in bright light has a high resolution and is very smooth. I have only had it installed for about 1 week now but am very impressed with all aspects of the unit. For whatever reason, my unit is set up to play while driving.

It only plays DVD's. The picture is on par with a small portable DVD player. The screen is mat, not glossy. Like a normal PC monitor. Also note, the DVD is only designed to play when the parking brake is engaged unless you employ a modification that may or may not be legal depending on where you are.

Hi there. I just had it put in. I dont think it plays blue ray.. The DVD is good. The only thing is it doesnt play while you are driving, but you can get an adaptor to bypass that. (thats what the installer told me) overall I really like it. If you dont care about navigation, you might want to look at something a bit cheaper.

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.

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.

For sure it plays normal DVD discs. I haven't tried 2D blu-ray myself, but the promotional literature says it will. In fact, it won't play 3D blu-ray unless you have a 3D TV (obviously).

Yes it plays regular DVDs as well as DVD-R and +R. The only thing it will not play is HI-DEF DVDs. Mine is still working. Is this thing still available?

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.

I think if it's not a HD player it wont read it. At least that's what the manual says, and other threads that I've read. That goes for DVD's too. If it's not a HD player it won't read it and won't play it. I believe that this unit isn't HD.

yes they will play normal dvd's if you have any recorded in mp4 or windows media ect check to make sure it plays those types of files blue ray is just a lot more lines of resolution giving better picture quality match it up with a tv with 720 or 1080 and you should get very nice picture!

I have only played original Bluray DVDs thru the BlueRay DVD player, not thing else, so it is unknown to me.

Yes it plays Blu-ray's on my pc just fine. Try downloading Blu-ray disc advisor, it will tell you where your problem is.

To be honest with you, especially when dealing with money, I sent mine back after having it for only a week. I sent it back because it did not play all m dvds or my flash drive. With my dealings with it, it played some of my items, which did not suit well with me. I hope I answered your question and I am not trying to discredit the company, I'm simply being honest in my dealings with the projector and why I do not have it anymore.

You need to have dvd or bluray player software mine works great. Burns blueray and dvds fine also as long as you specify the speed and not use autodetect

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.

It's a BD-RE drive. This plays both DVD discs and Blu-ray discs, can burn to DVD-R's, and can make an .ISO from a Blu-ray, but cannot burn to a BD-R.

Absolutely. It plays any DVD Blue Ray or regular. It also will play Music cds and, if you would be so inclined, will read a disc with pictures and allow you to show them on your TV. It will also allow you to acccess the internet if you have a WiFi modem. If you like you can stream movies from Netflix or Amazon it you are a member. Great piece of equipment!
