Why isn't my Blu-Ray Player working?

Veronica

I have a Sony Blu-Ray player and my TV is a Samsung. When I plug it in it's fine and when I play a DVD everything is fine. But when I put in a blu-ray disc, there's something like static on the TV screen.

Answer
First thing to try is what is called a firmware update. A unique aspect of Blu Ray players is that they require downloaded updates - which is why they have an Internet connection (older players required you to download data on the computer, burn it to disc, and insert the disc into the player). If yours is an older unit without Internet, this may be what you need to do. If in doubt, check the player owner's manual if you have it, or do a Google search for it using the player model followed by "owners manual".

Other possibility is indeed a failure of the player. Brands are cross compatible, so this is indeed an issue with the player. Do the update first, then replace the player if that does not fix the problem.

Can I play HD home videos on a dvd on my blu-ray player?

joshin

I have a Flip Ultra HD camcorder that takes video in 720p. I don't have a BD burner in my computer, just a DVD burner. Is there any way that I can burn my home videos to a DVD that will play on my blu-ray player in HD?

I know that I could burn a regular DVD, but all of my videos will be reduced to 480p. (At least that is my understanding.) I own a copy of Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0, or I would be willing to download any other reputable freeware that will get the job done. I just don't even know what to search for.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Answer
If i have got this right you want to burn an Hd video onto a standard DVD, if that right then its not going to work. But you can play standard DVD's on blue ray players.

Can I burn a Mkv/hdx264 to dvd and play on blu ray player?

Can I burn a Mkv/hdx264 to dvd and play on blu ray player..Just to save money on discs because blank blu ray disks are so expensive. Looking to purchase blu ray player that plays mkv/x264 etc. any experience.

Answer
Yes, you can. But not sure the quality would be as good as you expect/source video.
Besides, do you confirm your blu-ray player supports playing a DVD (as I know, most blu-ray players do support DVD playback, too).
You can use a freeware named Any Video Converter to burn the MKV video file to DVD, it should not take much time for the burning process complete. If you find the program cost too much time for the burning, then I advise you could convert the MKV to MP4 firstly, then burn the new MP4 file to blank DVD disc, that can save some time as per my experience.
