Can Blue Ray disks be played on a standard DVD player?

Perhaps in anticipation of this very question, they usually include a DVD with
a down-sampled version of the same movie in the box with a Bluray disk. It is
probably cheaper for the studios to just give you another disk for free than
to tie up their customer service lines trying to explain why Bluray would not
work in a DVD player. But the short answer is no. Bluray won't play in a DVD
player. Other than the size of the disk, everything else is different, even
the color of the laser that reads it.


And while I'm asking this, does this work in reverse, meaning does a
Blue Ray player also play regular DVDs?

That usually works just fine.
