What Formats Can Blu-ray Players Play?

Psychopath

I have a friend who burned the entire Doctor Who show from beginning to last episode, and at one point I was watching them on my xbox, but the earlier episodes seem to be in AVI file format. He said his family watches them on their Blu-ray player, and I was just wondering do all Blu-ray players play ordinary file formats or do you have to have a special brand or model and if so what brand/model?

Answer
All Blu-Ray players can play Blu-Rays, DVDs, and audio CDs. Most of the players from big name brands can also play other formats including AVIs, MP3s (for music), Photo CDs, VCDs, etc. Just check the specs or look on the box and it'll be spelled out.

But compatibility with these other formats may not be 100%, especially for formats that have a lot of variation such as AVI - for instance AVI can use one of dozens of different video and audio formats, and you can't expect a player to be able to handle all of them.

Is it true that all Blu-ray players play DVDs aswell?

And do blu-ray discs make a difference on standard definition tvs?

Answer
Yes blu ray players play standard DVDs.

If you've got an SD TV then either your PS3/Blu Ray player won't be hooked up with a HDMI cable, so the blu ray won't look any better than a DVD as your TV doesn't support the full HD (1080i) or HD ready (720i) picture quality. Standard TV picture quality is 580p, which is what your Blu Rays will play as.
