Does this play Blu Ray 3D movies and can it upscale regular DVD's?

I am sorry, I only use it to burn 50gb backup data disks. But for doing that it is really good, and faster then any other blu-ray burner I have.

Probably not good for playing 3D and definitely not for up scaling. It only has a USB 2 port - and I'm pretty sure you need HDMI for the features your looking for.

It will play Blu-ray movies on a PC with included Power-DVD software. It will partially play bluray on a Mac with the right software.It will not connect directly to a television. It does not render video at all. It is USB only.

Unsure on the upscale for DVD's, but it will play and record Blu Ray and it works very well for me so far. I have used mine mostly to record DVD's and CD's, also do the playbacks to make sure they are working. It is very compact and easy to pack with the laptop for transportation.

Dear Peter,Thanks for your inquiry. Since there are no 4K or UHD discs available, the Blu-ray player itself does not upscale. There are however, many audio receivers that do upscaling and perhaps that is what you are asking. Hope that makes things clearer for you.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

Sorry, I've never used Blu-Ray, but I don't believe it is. This unit has worked very well for dubbing DVD's and tapes to DVD, but I can't find my owner's manual - I just moved and it's in one of many boxes. I did some online Googling and the specs I found that said what formats are playable did not include Blu-Ray.

Yes, it does. All blu-ray players should be able to play both formats. You just can't play a blu-ray in a standard dvd player.

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).

This drive can definitely read 3D Blu Ray discs. However, to play and watch them in 3D you also need to ensure that whatever player software you use supports 3D, and that your TV or monitor supports 3D.

This system doesn't have a blu-ray/DVD player, but I do use a 3D player hooked up to this via HDMI and it works great. You will still need something additional to actually play the disc.

Yes, this player will upconvert DVD's as well as play blu-ray discs up to a resolution of 1080i through the component jacks. In "video settings" select "component video out" and the proper resolution can be selected, up to and limited to 1080i, however. But the picture still should look great on your HDTV.

Alright thank you. I think blurays will automatically upscale on even old players but I'll UPGRADE

I don't understand your comment. I have a Samsung Blu ray 4k upscale DVD player and it has performed very well. I number of blu rays DVD's look better than on a normal HD tv especially the 4k mastered ones that I have are excellent. I think the blu rays DVD's upscaled to near 4k rival the best movie theaters I have been to. With regular DVD's, there appears to be some upscaling but you tend to not get the color brilliance and definition that you get with blu rays.

This system will upconvert to 1080i, but only when using HDMI. It isn't a very good upscale, however, and seems quite blocky for picture quality. This came as a bit of a shock as the PS3 upconverts and upscales so well for DVD's that they almost appear to be in high def. Don't get this system for it's DVD playback capabilities!

Yes, it's actually a 3D Blu Ray player. It will work as a regular Blu Ray player for non 3D TVs

You should be able to play regular blue ray or dvd's, but a 3d tv is required if you want to play 3d dvd's. (Though you may be able to use the 3d dvd's, but it will not be able to play in 3d mode.)

Yes, I have successfully played DVDs on this model. The user manual says it plays DVD-video, DVD-R, DVD-R DL in addition to Blu-ray. It also plays CDs, SD cards, and USB media.

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.
