UMD disk in a CD player?
On another site, a person is asking if you can buy a CD player that plays UMD disks. He saw an Indian movie where an actor did that. I assume he means a music disk. The movie could have faked it and just pretended it played.


EDIT UODATE: Look at the screen cap in this thread. It does look like there is an indentation on the tray just for a UMD disk. But the disk does not look like it is sitting into the hole correctly.

no
umd is sonys own disc and drive
not even close to compatible with cd/dvd drives

the umd movie media is mp4 so if you could use a hacked psp to pull the files off the disc and save them to the sony memory stick, and play them on a pc, or burn them to a cd/dvd to play on a dvd player

Check the fact. There is no UMD media player. Minidisc does.

That was the question. Did anyone ever make a player that can play a UMD disk. Other than the Play Station. So, yes, I did mean UMD.

Check the fact, the original Play Station Portable (PSP) used / plays UMDs. Regardless, just because it was a failed technology and Sony abandoned it with the move to the PSP Go doesn't mean UMD didn't exist. Movies do a bunch of stupid things with UMDs, MiniDisks, and mini CDs just because they aren't "standard" looking and people think they look super high-tech because people don't generally know what they are.

There is no media player for UMD. Check the website.

I should have posted this before but I did not look too close to the screencap before now. Oops.

As I said, there is no media player for the UMD. It is probably a modded disc drive to avoid trouble with copyright.

Yes there is, its called a PSP. PSP, and UMD have been dead since 2014 so there isn't anything currently using it, just as there aren't HD-DVD players or Betamax players.

I'm not sure what "copyright" trouble you think there would be with a movie faking the use of a UMD, but it is far more likely this is just movies doing movie things and the UMD is just a prop.

It looks to me that the UMD is just sitting on the CD tray.

yep, the tray cant close with the umd in its cartridge
if you had a top loading cd player, you might be able to put a umd disc outside of its cartridge
but its spindle wont line up correctly

IIRC the UMD center is the same dimensions as CD/DVD/BD so you could remove a UMD disc from the caddie and load it into a top loading CD/DVD player. Regardless it wouldn't matter if it fit, UMD used a different laser wavelength than CD or DVD. DVDs use a 650nm wavelength and UMDs use a 660nm wavelength.
