Can I still play regular Dvds in a Blu-ray player?

As an A/V tech I get asked this question almost every time we install a Blu-ray player.
The answer of course is Yes! And not only will all Blu-ray players play those regular Dvds some will enhance the picture by doing what is called Dvd up-conversion.
Dvd up-conversion will basically take your standard Dvd disc and make it as close to a high definition image as it can possibly get. As a matter of fact on an Hdtv that is 32 inches or smaller you can barely tell a difference between a Blu-ray movie and a Dvd that is being up-converted. Now once you start going up in size like on nice 52 inch Lcd you can certainly tell the difference between the up-converted Dvd and the Blu-ray disc but the Dvd will still look a lot better than it did with your standard Dvd player.
Here are a few quality Blu-ray players that offer Dvd up-conversion:
