That may be the case but to convert a DVD to a file on the PC you need a good program to convert it to that specific device format ie. mp4, AAC, WMV and so on. With Wondershare you just choose your specific device from a list and it does the rest for you.

7.0 is Exynos.Exynos are very good at decoding, so you don't need to change file in to like .mp4

No, you cannot play a DVD on this machine, but it will reproduce a DVD player with a USB plug connection, as well as a pen-drive.

I never thought to try those disks, but I just tried a music CD and it played fine. I don't have any music DVDs to try, but my guess would be it plays them also. It obviously does play movie DVDs.

No, it plays Blu-ray but burns DVD and CD's. You would need to purchase an external Blu-ray burner that connects to USB.

I'm probably going to cancel my order and go with a Blu-Ray player... also can then try to find a model that will meet 2.0 profile (as it appears this unit will clearly not) from the specs that have now been made available

Yes, although I never used it. The directions stated that you can play movies from the usb port.

yes you can...but if it is anything like mine you will have to find software for it to actually play bluray discs

It will play both, HOWEVER! It will not play Bluray movies without purchasing additional software for Bluray playback because Sony corporation owns the Bluray standard. I do not buy Bluray nor do I buy Sony products for that reason. I use free VLC player for DVD movies.

Yes, but you need a third party software to play DVD and blu-ray, it comes with a Cyberlink bundle, to do this trick.

Depends if your DVD or Blu-Ray supports it but I have been able to use that feature with movies and whatnot

Yep. Just download the blu-ray app for free and it will play blu-ray discs.

I use Imation dvd+ and dvd-, this player does play both formats, though would occasionally skip/slow up. Not sure if it is due to dirty discs or the dvd player itself. Good overall unit though.

I haven't tried it but I'm guessing most likely not. Not many home DVD players do if any that I'm aware of. I'd suggest burning a movie to a DVD-R if you are going that route.

2.0. I watch mp4 concerts on it no problem.Haven't watched a reg movie though

You need the software to play the unit. The software does not work on my machine. I even had a IT guy come install and it still had error when trying to play Blu Ray.

Not only that, but unfortunately the license to play back DVDs costs $$$ which Google didn't want to pay, so even if you added a DVD player via USB port, it could not play DVDs. Google (disclosure: my employer) is trying to solve this with the free and open VP8 and VP9 codecs for video files. DVDs and Blu-Ray Players add a lot of licensing costs to laptops.
