What is the difference between playing a Blue Ray Disk and playing a Blue Ray format file on computer?

Question by JAH: What is the difference between playing a Blue Ray Disk and playing a Blue Ray format file on computer?
I am curious about this. Someone gave me a flash drive with a blue ray format movie on it. Can I just play this on my PC? What is the difference of playing blue ray off a disk in a drive (blue ray player) and just playing the file on my computer? I have my computer hooked up to a 1080P hd tv via HDMI if that helps. Thanks.

well technically its the same depending on how it was ripped. if its the actual blue ray dvd files and is true in size the thing would be massive. chances are its a mkv file format which is the standard way to rip and create a single file. problem is mkv is a pain in the ass unless you have a good pc. what i do is use KM player or VLC player to watch those files. they are set up for mkv files. the best thing to do is create a divx avi with devede and burn it to a dual layer dvd, youll retain full quality this way at only 7gb in size believe it or not. thats what i do.

Where can I buy DVD recordings of broadway shows?

Question by Lindy: Where can I buy DVD recordings of broadway shows?
Is there any place to buy DVD recordings of Broadway or off Broadway shows? I like so many shows, but can’t actually go see them and a lot of shows don’t have a movie version.

Best answer:

Answer by ltgeneralkasty
Few Broadway shows ever make recordings of their performances due to conflicts with royalties and paying the actors. You might be able to find a few illegally filmed shows on the internet. The only show I’ve seen legally released on DVD was RENT: Live on Broadway, their last show before they closed.

Answer by latte_queen2000
I love this player for my toddler! It has a carry handle so she can easily carry it, and no flip screen to bust off. She’s also dropped it a few times on wood floors, no damage!http://www.target.com/Disney-Portable-DVD-Player-D7500PDD/dp/B000REHHL4/sr=1-2/qid=1204237629/ref=sr_1_2/602-0650823-7746261?ie=UTF8&rh=k%3Akids%5Fportable%5Fdvd&page=1

Question by kingskip: What is the song on the first opening trailer of most recent Disney DVDs from?
I am talking about the music on any Disney DVD from 2007 to today. The very first commercial on there has a song played and it shows clips from different Disney movies. Do you know what movie or show that song is from? It seems like someone said it might be a Robin Hood film but I can’t seem to find it any where. Please help me out.

How do I burn a DVD from my computer that will play on my home DVD player?

Question by MDR: How do I burn a DVD from my computer that will play on my home DVD player?
I am trying to burn a DVD (photo slideshow with video) on my computer and then watch it on my home DVD player. I have Windows DVD maker and Roxcio DVD creator. Can anybody tell me how to do this? I can play it back on any computer but not at home.

Best answer:

Answer by Phil
It may be that your DVD player is not capable of playing DVD-RW or DVD-R formats. You might want to check your owner’s manual or consult the manufacturer’s website. Or look on the front of your DVD player. Mine specifically says what formats it can play, although I’m sure that such labeling can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

If yours doesn’t play those formats, the good news is that DVD players are cheaper than they used to be. You can get a decent Sony player for seventy or eighty bucks. I would avoid the $ 30 dollar store brand players, however. I’ve read some unfavorable reviews, and some of those players lack features that you will probably want.
