IF the camera records in the DVD format (DVD-R or DVD R) or another format your DVD player will recognize, like VCD's, DivX, etc., then what you need to do is open the tray on the DVD player and check to see if it has an indentation in it,about 3" in diameter. If it does, that's where 3" DVD's go. (Hint: MOST DVD players have this indentation in the tray and will play 3" DVD's just fine.)

An HD camcorder can be made to be compatible with a non HD tv. Using video editing software, you can downgrade the HD video from an HD camcorder to standard definition which will play on a non-HD TV. Some camcorders will also have RCA outputs which will play on a non HD tv. If the camcorder only has HDMI outputs, then it can not be directly connected to you non-HD TV. There are also some camcorders which can record in both HD and Standard Definition.
avcd can be played on some blue ray players or converted to standard format by the camcorder or computer. Macgo Mac Blu-ray Player could playback dvd, blu-ray discs and ISO videos. macblurayplayer.com

A hard disk camcorder serves many purposes. The main purpose for a hard disk camcorder is to record videos and have the ability to play or edit the videos.
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.
The question here reads, can you play a Digital 8mm tape on an analog camcorder. The answer to this is NO. An analogue Video8 or Hi8 camcorder will display nothing useful if playing a tape recorded with the Digital8 standard. Only a Digital8 camcorder can play a Digital8 recording. In many cases (but certainly not all) such a Digital8 camcorder will also play analogue Video8 and Hi8 tapes. Be aware that sometimes a person will have used a tape branded as Digital8 to make recordings with a Video8 or Hi8 camcorder, and in this case the recordings ARE analogue. Another option is to convert your 8mm tapes to digital or DVDs. There are a lot of 8mm video transfer services out there that can do this for cheap. StashSpace.Com is a good one, costs $6.95 per tape and they let you watch and edit online for free. Outside USA, try a Google search for "digital8 to DVD transfers UK" or similar.
If the tape will fit into a camcorder, there is no reason why a copyright tape won't play. Many VHS camcorders use small cassette bodies and a standard commercial VHS tape simply won't fit.
can not. DVD could be played on blu-ray player.
