No, it cannot. Regular DVD player uses a red laser to read disc, while HD DVD uses a blue laser, which is more precise. That's the reason HD DVD can store about 25gb of data. while DVD only around 9gb max. Blu Ray can store over 50gb.

Can you play an HD DVD on a 1080i upconverting DVD player?
* 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.
