In the digital era, if you are a movie fan, you may have the preferences to play some physical optical drives on your independent disc players. Alternatively, if you would like to play the discs on your PC, it would be much easier to obtain the movie playback. Generally speaking, there are two major disc forms you can refer to, Blu-ray disc and DVD. If you tend to play Blu-ray discs on your PC, which is only equipped with the DVD drive, then you would not be able to play the Blu-ray on it, since DVD drive would only be compatible with common DVD. But on the other hand, if your computer is equipped with Blu-ray drive, the DVDs would be played on it then.
Why the DVD drive couldn’t play Blu-ray discs?
The
main reason lies in that Blu-ray disc contains more video and audio information
that a DVD drive or player is designed to read. Blu-ray discs use a blue laser
beam with a wavelength of 405 nanometers (nm) for reading and writing, while DVD
uses a red reader with a wavelength of 650 nanometers. The pits on the Blu-ray
discs are much smaller than a DVD which requires a blue laser to read the
information However DVD drives and players only use red lasers which could not
read the information on Blu-ray discs. But why some of the best Blu-ray
player can play DVDs? Just as mentioned above, for most
Blu-ray player manufacturers, they may tend to embed both red and blue lasers
into the Blu-ray player which then can be capable of playing both Blu-ray discs
and DVDs. Once you place a DVD into a Blu-ray player, or to the PC with Blu-ray
drive, then it would activate the red laser to read the DVD information.

To assist in solving the problem, you can try to convert Blu-ray to DVD with some additional ripping programs.
