I see the Blu-Ray players for sale and notice they are higher priced than the DVD players. What is the difference? I have several DVD players and my Daughter pretty much keeps me permanently on Netflix as she uses it for gifts.
Can I play Blu Ray discs on my DVD players? I guess not but am not sure. Don’t really even know what Blu-Ray is.
Blu-ray gives a much better picture. For more details, just check back on this thread. There are really technical experts here at FR who will give a lot better explanation than I could!
No, you cannot play Blu-Ray on a standard DVD player.
The disks are definitely different and the quality is substantially better...
The difference between movies on Bluray and movies on dvd is like looking through piece of glass at a sculpture versus looking through a sheet of water at a sculpture. Bottom line, BR discs store up to five times more data than a dvd and therefore higher picture quality and sound quality can be enjoyed. To me, watching a bluray that I have already seen on dvd before is like watching the movie for the first time all over again.
Its like the difference between the telegraph and the telephone.
Nobody thinks they care about the difference between Blu-Ray and DVD, until the first time you see Star Trek, or Iron Man, and realize you have never really seen a picture before.
You won't want to ever go to a theater again either.
