Most likely not since they're different types of video systems. If you think it might, borrow a HD DVD and give it a try. That'll answer your question for sure, but I'd be more surprised if it did work.
* No you cannot, you need an HD-DVD player to play HD-DVD's * * HD-DVD is a brand of high definition DVD, just like "Sony" is a brand of electronics. Since an HD-DVD is its own brand and competes with Blu-Ray, the other brand of high definition DVD, it is proprietary and can only be played on HD-DVD brand DVD players. An upconverting DVD player is a DVD player that takes standard definition DVD's (in 480p) and uses digital technology to upconvert them to a 1080i or 1080p definition.
To play a HD DVD you need a HD DVD player. A standard DVD player will not play a HD DVD, nor will a Blu-ray player. HDMI is just a connection: it won't give your standard DVD player superpowers.
No, regular DVD players can not play HD DVDs. We need an HD DVD player. - Neeraj Sharma
No you can play normal DVD's but the picture would be alot better if you did buy HD DVD's.
An "upscaling" DVD player will have an HDMI output, as will a Blu-Ray player and an HD-DVD player (although HD-DVD is a dead format now).
no
No.
I'm not ENTIRELY sure, But, Since the HD-DVD player requires the small wavelength of a blue lazer to read the disk, I'm assuming that normall DVD players won't play HD-DVD's. I have never tried it though.
HD DVD and Bluray were competing high definition disc formats. In 2009 HD DVD was withdrawn from sale as it became apparent that Bluray had won the HD disc battle. The two formats are not compatible so HD DVDs can only be played on an HD DVD player.
