The answer to this is no. Blu-ray may only be played by Blu-ray Players due to the fact that Blu-ray DVDs were made with blue and violet rays, hence the name blu-ray, and can only read using those Blue and rays.
Absolutely. All discs of every type can be read on all disc reading machines.
In a short answer, No.
Blu-Ray is a relatively new technology that compresses much more information (over 50GB, or gigabytes) onto a disc that is physically the same size as a standard DVD. In comparison, a DVD holds a little over 8 GB of data on a dual-layer disc.
The difference is the density at which the information is recorded, and the number of layers used. A DVD player doesn't have the ability to focus on the different layers, and the information is encoded differently on Blu-Ray than it is on a DVD.
No. Blu-Rays are not DVDs and they will only work on Blu-Ray players.

∙ 12y agoUsually yes, not because "blu-ray" players are inherently capable of reading standard DVDs, but because the manufacturer has included standard DVD reading hardware in addition to the "blu-ray" hardware.
The reason for this is the perception that most people would be much less interested in buying a blu-ray player if it would not be able to also play their existing DVD library, since they probably have a significant investment in that library and would not want to immediately throw it out and buy new blu-ray copies (assuming they were even available).

yes most Blu-ray disc players also play DVDs and CDs. The PS3 will and so does most of Sony Blu-ray disc players and many upgrade the DVDs to near HD quality.

∙ 9y agoNo, blu ray discs can not be played in a standard dvd player. Blu ray discs require a different type of laser than standard dvds. However, you CAN play standard dvds in a blu ray disc player.
