Can Blu ray discs be played in an ordinary DVD player?

Answer:

The most common DVD, namely single monolayer DVD data capacity is about 7 times of VCD, this is because DVD and VCD are using the same technique to read deep in the optical disc data (optical reading technology), but due to the small spot generated by the DVD optical reading head (read the original spot will be reduced the size of 0.85 m to 0.55 m), so in the area of the same size on disk (DVD and VCD appearance are the same size), DVD data storage density can be increased.
Digital versatile disc, or DVD, is an optical disk memory, usually used to play the standard definition of the film, high-quality music and for large capacity storage, data use. DVD and CD are very similar in appearance, and they are about 120 millimeters in diameter.
Blu ray players can play regular DVD discs that are compatible.Blu ray players use blue laser to read files on disk. Because the light wavelength is shorter, more compact discs can be read.
