Does playstation 3 play Blu-ray movies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes it is one of it's features and it also plays DVDs and upgrades them to the level of your HDTV and Connection. Of course nothing can play a Disc in 1080 P if your HDTV and Connection are set up for 480I or 720p. That means if you have a 1080P HDTV connected with an HDMI cable you can play blue ray disc movies and games

Does the xbox 360 play blue ray?

Asked by Wiki User

Short answer, No. Xbox only got DVD drive, with HD-DVD as option.

Long answer, could be possible, instead of attatching a HD-DVD add-on attatching an USB Blu-ray drive plus an adequate codec set on the machine (obviously jailbroken) would be feasible. I assume the existence of USB Blu-Ray drives and the implementation of USB 2.0 on the Xbox.

You will require a Bluray player to play a disc. To watch content in high definition, you will need an HD television with an HDMI connection between them. However, Bluray players have analog outputs to allow a standard definition signal to be connected to non HD televisions.

Blu-Ray discs can only be viewed on high definition displays. Blu-Rays are named in reference to the blue laser used to read the disc. A dual-layer disc contains up to 50GB of capacity. Blu-Rays have a hardcoat layer on the bottom that makes it more resistant to scratches than DVDs are.

Can you watch 3D blu ray movies on a regular lcd tv?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That depends on the kind of 3D TV you have. If your 3D TV has a 2D to 3D conversion feature than yes, you can watch any 2D program in 3D. LG makes good 3D TVs that are affordable and have 2d to 3d conversion feature (other cheaper makers don't have that feature included). I have a LW6500 model (Cinema 3D line) from LG and 3D-converted images look great.

How can you fix your blu ray DVD?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can use wax and polish and sometimes glue and tape to repair a scratched or broken DVD. Deep scratches may not be repairable, and may require professional help. Discs broken into two or more pieces are generally not repairable. Apply a tiny amount of plastic glue to the crack, using a pin or toothpick.

Do Mac Books have Blu-ray?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Blu-ray has been called "a bag of hurt" for a long time by Jobs because all Mac machines don't ship the capability to play Blu-ray. So if you wanna do this, you have to take advantage of some third party program. Macgo Mac Blu-ray Player is the most used software on Mac which really works fine on all Mac models.

What is blu ray?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Blu-ray Disc (also known as BD or Blu-ray) is an optical disc storage medium designed to supersede the standard DVD format.

Its main uses are for storing high-definition video, PlayStation 3 video games, and other data, with up to 25 GB per single layered, and 50 GB per dual layered disc. Although these numbers represent the standard storage for Blu-Ray drives, the specification is open-ended, with the upper theoretical storage limit left unclear.

200 GB discs are available, and 100 GB discs are readable without extra equipment or modified firmware.

The disc has the same physical dimensions as standard DVDs and CDs.

The name Blu-ray Disc derives from the blue-violet laser used to read the disc. While a standard DVD uses a 650 nanometer red laser, Blu-ray uses a shorter wavelength, a 405 nm blue-violet laser, and allows for almost ten times more data storage than a DVD.

Will a HDMI up convert DVD player play blu-ray disks as well?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

DVD players cannot play Bluray discs. The lasers and the data storage are different so no data can be read from a Bluray disc in a DVD drive. That is the case whether or not there is any up-scaling available in the player.

Bluray players on the other hand are quite happy to play DVDs as well as Bluray discs.
