Chuck, the custom Video and Audio decode chips PLUS the lazer diodes are vastly different than a cd player. It takes a brand new type diode and some really precise optics and mechanics to be able to read this wavelength. The wavelength on a Blu-ray player is it is much smaller than the old cd/dvd wavelengths.
