Playing Movies / Videos: Can you play DVD "Digital Copy" movies on this or the 7.0 Plus?

7.0 is Exynos. Exynos are very good at decoding, so you don't need to change file in to like .mp4

I don't have a surface tablet... But it will play all of those disc formats as long as you have playback software that can decode them.

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.

Yes, no problem, but remember You'll only be able to play it back on a disc drive that will play DVD's.

you should be able to play the disk through whatever your default media player is, ive tried VLC and MCP-HC and both have worked, I honestly have never used or seen said included software, id suggest looking at the setup guide it comes with to see if it's being detected properly

Mine was working great until a few weeks ago it quit playing BD's after upgrading the firmware to the 169 version. No problem with DVD's. I've done the firmware upgrades to version 179 and still having the same issue. Nothing on the Sony website about this issue.

Depends on what you're trying to play for media. It will still play DVDs and HD-DVDs. It will not play bluray discs.

Yes if you're using USB 3.0. Movies will play on USB 2.0 but will be clunky instead of smooth animation.

The unit does not include a DVD/Blu-ray player. But of course, you could play from external sources by connecting via HDMI cable.

I never thought to try those disks, but I just tried a music CD and it played fine. I don't have any music DVDs to try, but my guess would be it plays them also. It obviously does play movie DVDs.

In addition to commercial DVDs I have only tried dvd-r which it plays OK. Those are movies copied on my Mac.

Thanks, Bishop, for your reply. I liked your last statement (very funny!). A couple of hours after i went out to get this model at Best Buy (i just couldn't wait!), a friend showed me the all-region equivalent (also from Pioneer) featured on this same Amazon site! Well, at least they claim it's all region, but seems some customers have had to get guarantees from the supplier that the unit will indeed play all types of discs. A bit confusing. ;)

No you can't. Just a word of caution! Do not buy this device. It's a waste of money. It is not compatible with most DVD's regardless of the format. It will not play 9 out of 10 DVD's. It's a pure waste of money! This is an honest objective unsolicited candid opinion without prejudice. After all, I'm still stuck with the trash.

It cannot play bluray movies without additional software such as PowerDVD - $50. It burns regular DVDs and CDs with free software such as ImgBurn.

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?

I'm probably going to cancel my order and go with a Blu-Ray player... also can then try to find a model that will meet 2.0 profile (as it appears this unit will clearly not) from the specs that have now been made available

Yes, I can use it to watch DVD movie. But not the Blue-Ray disc movie. (need more research on this issue)
