Sure, but MPV doesn't play Blu-ray's in a DVD player. I need a program to convert my DVD player to be able to use a Blu-ray disc.

Has it occurred to you that 'Blu-Ray' might suggest the player uses a
blue light laser rather than the red light one in your DVD player?
Software ain't going to change the laser for you.

That's because this is a hardware issue. There is no software that can
fix this. You might was well ask for "a program that can convert my DVD player to be able to use cassette tapes".
Does anyone know where I could post to maybe get some more informed
opinions than I seem to be getting here? I need to find that program.
I haven't had any luck yet; maybe it's been discontinued?

just go out and purchase these Blu-ray discs at the spur of the moment. >>>> I did my research.
Here:
https://i.vgy.me/08BGjB.jpg
is the article I read, from Cyberlink, that said it was possible to
convert the DVD player to a Blue-ray player.
This has gotta be a troll.
Okay, Mr. Skeptical. Here is a photo of my actual DVD player that is
built into my computer, if that will help any.

Well, that made a believer out of me...

I don't speak or read the French language, sorry.

You know what, I don't know if any of you people know what the hell you
are talking about.
I did a quick search and came up with this:

Does anyone know where I could post to maybe get some more informed
opinions than I seem to be getting here? I need to find that program. I haven't had any luck yet; maybe it's been discontinued?

I guess the conversion program would install the blue light. I didn't

Now at least you can see, with your own eyes, the DVD player I'm trying to convert into a Blu-ray player and maybe determine if it's the right type
or not.
This has gotta be a troll.

Without modifying the hardware, you won't be able to play Blu-Ray discs. Additionally, I doubt that simply changing the lens to a new one would actually accomplish anything.
If you want to play Blu-Ray discs on a desktop, you can buy a used
Blu-Ray drive for about $30-$40 on eBay. A new one will cost at least
$70.
That answer was written by a "bot". It is nowhere near correct. There
is no way in hell that software you run on your computer can change the frequency of the light emitted by the laser in your DVD player AND
change the electronics to be able to understand what it is reading.
Are you REALLY this gullible? Do you REALLY think that software can
talk to the laser? Do you REALLY think that is all that is needed?
AGAIN, this is a hardware problem. You need a new(er) drive that can
read Blu Ray disks. Period.

I would rather not modify the hardware, as that would probably be a good
deal of money to achieve that. I already spent twenty U.S. dollars on the Blu-ray discs. I'm not trying to break the bank.
That's why I was hoping I could find that program that would just change
the light spectrum, or color, or whatever.

Holy crap. There is no way I can justify that type of frivolous
expenditure. I had no idea the costs to be able to do this would just
keep multiplying. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

That's your opinion, I guess. Not everyone agrees with that though.
Maybe if some of you weren't so intent on disproving the capability of my request, there would have been more progress on solving the issue.
Some people in this very thread have even said I'm trolling. I think they may be trolling me by accusing me of being a troll. Not cool!

It's twenty bucks, get over it.

If you're willing to spend hours figuring out how to do the impossible,
you might be overjoyed to learn that you could have earned more than
twenty dollars in that time.

Alright, you're truly just messing with us.
Hello everyone. I recently bought about one hundred Blu-ray movies at a >thrift store and my DVD player will not play them.
Can someone please tell me which program to use to convert the DVD player
I have into a Blu-ray player. If there is a program in Linux Mint's
Software Manager, that would be ideal.
If not, I'm not totally opposed to using reputable PPA's, reputable .deb >files, or a reputable AppImage. No flatpaks, please.
