Can I download to a Blu-ray Player

I currently have my internet set up to download to my Directv for Video on Demand and other Apps.
I have a Blu-ray player that has a USB port.
My Question :
Can I also download a movie/video to my Blu-Ray player via the USB or
Is there a way of downloading it into a flash drive and then allowing my Blu-Ray player to accept it and play it.
Do I need the Apple Tv unit and/or some other type of program ?
Obviously I would want it in either 1080p of at minimum 1080i.
I am not sure if this is the right forum section, if not would someone guide me to the right one.

the usb port on appletv is only for firmware updates
about if you can move movies from your bluray drive using it's usb port is doubtful as that would make it easy for people to pirate movies
and no the appletv can only do 720P even if the atv1 can upscale
if you can upload movies to your bluray player would likely be a question for the manufactory of your bluray players forum rather then here as you have not even stated the brand of your player

Using a Funai Blu-ray Player w/ Built-in Wi-Fi & Smartphone Streaming

Can I use the Funai Blu-ray Player w/ Built-in Wi-Fi & Smartphone Streaming to stream baseball games from my iphone to the tv>

Only if there's an app that can get you the game and that supports that player. The native AirPlay video streaming works only with an Apple TV or with computer software such as Reflector.

How do i connect airport express to blue ray player

wondering if i can connect airport express to blue ray player using usb for streaming, etc?

Good question. The single port on the AirPort Express places it somewhat at a disadvantage in a situation like this. It's tempting to think that a setup like this will work:
Modem > Ethernet Switch > Express & Blu-Ray Player both connected to the switch
But, unfortunately, it won't. The reason is that the modem has only one IP address it can deliver and it can't go to two devices at the same time. It will be matter of chance as to which device...the Express or Blu-Ray Player....gets the IP address. The other device will not be able to connect to the Internet.
Instead, what is required is a simple "wired only" router connected to the modem. So the corrrect setup will look like this:
Modem > Wired Only Router > Express and Blu-Ray Player both connected to the router
The router "shares" the IP address that it receives from the modem (an ethernet switch cannot do this) and provides simultaneous Internet connections to the devices that are plugged into the ethernet ports on the router.

Can't connect wireless blu ray player

I've been using verizon DSL for about 5 years now. I have a Versalink 327W that was provided by Verizon. I've been pretty happy with the service, experiencing only a few glitches that were easily fixed. But I haven't been pushing it hard. I have a couple of desktops both wired to the Versalink by ethernet. The versalink provides internet access to the two computers, and file and printer sharing as well.
Now I have a problem. I recently bought a Sony Blu Ray player (model BDP-BX57) with built in wireless. No matter what I do, wireless connection fails. I've ruled out SSID and WEP key problems. The Blu Ray sees the Versalink with its SSID, and can't connect even if I set the Versalink to open. For what it's worth, if I plug the blu ray into the versalink with ethernet, that works, and I can access the internet.
That solution won't work for me in use. I need wireless.
Reading various entries in this forum and other places, I see that some people need to update the firmware in their Versalink. Do I need to do this? Is it going to help? Am I just going to have to upgrade my router/modem or my DSL service later on?
Also, looking at the steps needed to update the firmware, it looks error prone to me. What's my fall back if things go wrong due to either my error or Verizon's? I don't want to be without service for a long time while Verizon gets me a new router/modem.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This problem has been solved.
The solution turned out to be to upgrade the firmware inside the "Residential Gateway" (aka router/modem) provided by Verizon. The gateway is a Westell 327W of the A90 vintage. The firmware it contained didn't work for wireless connections.
After finding a Verizon site that provides firmware for downloading, and satisfying myself that this site was on the up and up, I finally ventured to download and install the new firmware. if you are interested in downloads from Verizon, start at download.verizon.net and navigate your way to the download you are loking for. There may be a link from My Verizon to this download area, but I sure couldn't find it.
The firmware is now at rev 4.04.03.00. And the gateway now supports wireless connections.
Thanks for all your responses, and a special thanks to some contributors to old discussions in dslreports where the solution was outlined.
The next problem to deal with is going to be slow speed. I'll start a new topic.

Do I need to download a DNLA server to play contents of my iMac on my TV through a blue ray player?

Do I need to download a DNLA server to play contents of my imac on my TV through a blue ray player? I have Mountain Lion.

No, but if you want to do this wirelessly or as Apple calls it, AirPlay, then you need a compatible iMac and an Apple TV or other compatible AirPlay device.
Otherwise you can connect the two with a suitable cable.

I have a late 2013 27" iMac, can anyone recommend a really good external blu-ray player?

Hi,
I recently purchased a stock late 2013 27" iMac and I'm looking to purchase a really good external blu-ray player. I would prefer a Samsung USB 3.0.
Thanks!

There are many solutions for watching BLU-RAY MOVIES on MAcs.
One is to download Bluray for Mac ... with a blueray player, this little player plays most bluerays perfectly.
You can download a trial for free here: http://www.macblurayplayer.com/
Second, You can get a program called MAKEMKV and use it in combination with VLC PLAYER to convert BLU-Ray to MKV format or STREAM from LOCAL NETWORK FAST to watch Blue Ray Free!!!!
GET MAKE MKV here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/34693/makemkv
And VLC PLAYER HERE: http://download.cnet.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-2139_4-10210434.html?tag=mncol;tx t
There are videos on YOU TUBE to show you how to use MAKEMKV and VLC together.
Also, I just purchased a SAMSUNG Ext. SLIM Bluray writer for under $100 that works great for playing and burning Bluray Disc!
Good Luck

My Blu-Ray player has a USB input but it doesn't have an HDMI input. Can I connect my Apple TV to the Blu-Ray using an HDMI/ USB adapter? It would allow me to run the audio through my stereo. Thanks to all for your help.

If you can find such a thing. I really doubt that exists since USB is a data connector not a video connector.
would allow me to run the audio through my stereo.
That would depend on this adapter.

Can I connect my iMac's iTunes library via wi-fi to my Blu-Ray player so I can listen to the music on my computer with my home theater system?

My music library is on my iMac, located in a different room of the house than my home theater system with a decent Denon receiver and good Infinity towers. I have an iPod connector to the Denon which I can use, but the iPod has a limited library of songs, so I would like to somehow access my iMac music library and be able to play it through the home theater system. Hard wiring the components is out of the question due to length of run through several rooms of the house, no basement and cathedral ceilings. I already have my iMac and my Panasonic Blu-Ray player both connected to my wi-fi, and it seems there should be a way to connect both of them using the wi-fi. The blu-ray player is DLNA, but the Mac isn't, so that is out of the question. Is there any other way to get these components to talk to each other over wi-fi?

There is a DLNA media server called MediaLink that is designed for use with the Play Station 3. It is not advertised as working with other DLNA clients but it usually will. I use it to stream audio, video and pictures to a WDTV media player in my bedroom. Works great, even supports iTunes playlists. I believe it still has a free trial period so you can see if it works with your player.

Can i use the apple tv3 to connect a blu-ray player to the internet through the ethernet port?

I Have a blu-ray player which can access teh internet but only through a wired connection. Unfortunately, do to some renovating a can't really pass a wire from my router to the player. I was thinking of getting the express base station and hooking up an ethernet cable and getting it to connect that wy. However, for just an extra 10$ i can get teh apple tv and started to wonder if it would do the same.
Anybody know if i connect an an ethernet cable between my blu-ray player and apple tv3 if it will be able to connect to the internet?
Thanks for you help!

Your blu-ray play can't play to your AppleTV, neither using a wired connection or wi-fi.
AppleTV only support compressed format. Therefore, your AppleTV require your content to be within your iTunes library and on the supported format; http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
There are however wireless devices on which you can plug an HDMI cable. I don't know the price of such wireless devices but you'll find them on the net.

How do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

how do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

Hi
Part of it - in my way of doing is
Roxio Toast™ Pro incl BD-component.
• Burn short AVCHD - on standard DVDs (20-30 minutes at HD quality) - NEED Blu-Ray player to be viewed
or BD-burner and disks - for full Blu-Ray Disks (not got to this yet)
I think that saving as .mpeg4 H.264 and save on USB-memory to be put into PlayStation3 also keep high quality playback.
Yours Bengt W

Can I stream wirelessly from my iMac to my blu ray player?

I just bought a 27.5" iMac and I'm on a wireless network at home. I have a Samsung blu ray DVD player that streams video wirelessly to my TV. I would like to be able to stream videos from my iMac to the TV through my blu ray player. Is this possible? If you can do it from a PC, shouldn't a Mac have the same ability?

tanasue44,
We have a similar question about connecting our iMac on a wireless network at home. We have no response yet, have you heard anything?
