What happens when you try and play a blu-ray disc in a regular dvd player?

I bought a blu ray disc, and it came with a regular DVD copy. without even thinking, i just grabbed the first disc, and put it into my DVD player, and that disc happened to be the blu-ray version. now the back of the blu-ray disc has waves of color, and i dont know if i ruined it or not, does anyone know?What happens when you try and play a blu-ray disc in a regular dvd player?
No, you didn't ruin it. DVD players are strictly read-only, meaning that they will not rewrite or damage anything on the disc under any circumstances, unless the DVD player catches on fire or spits the DVD across the room, shattering it against the wall (which will almost NEVER happen, mind you!). The "waves of color" are just part of the reflection from the disc. In short, if you put a Blu-ray DVD into a standard DVD player, absolutely NOTHING will happen.

No, your DVD player cannot play Bluray discs. A DVDs player uses a red laser while Blurays use a blue/violet laser that reads more data than the red laser.



So if you put a blu-ray disc in a regular DVD player you will get a very pixelize or choppy video or none at all because the data written in a Bluray disc is written specifically to be read by a blue laser that reads at a higher bandwidth than the DVD player.



The Bluray player can read a DVD though as it can adjust its laser's wavelength to match the DVD's player wavelength.



Hope this helps.

Some of the Blu-Ray discs look like they have waves on them. just trying to play a blu-ray in a DVD player wont rune it. The only way to know is to try it on a blu-ray player.
