How does the capacity of an HD DVD compare with that of a standard DVD?
HD stands for high definition. SD or standard definition is 480 interlaced lines of resolution, which is the traditional CRT television image the majority of us has seen for years. HD DVDs pack more clarity so they appear clearer on an HDTV. Most HD DVDs are made to be produced at HD resolutions of 1080i or 1080p.

Can a dvd drive play HD DVDs?

Do HD DVDs only play on HD DVD players or PS3s?
Let me elaborate a little more than a simple "yes". HD DVDs will, as of November, 2007, only play on a device that has the "HD DVD" logo somewhere on the device. Currently, Toshiba is the biggest manufacturer of HD DVD players; also, the XBOX 360 has a separate, external HD DVD drive that can be purchased for around $180. PS3s will NOT play HD DVDs. The PS3 is made by Sony, which is devoted to the main competing high definition format to HD DVD, and that is BLU RAY. Unlike the XBOX, the PS3 comes with the Blu-Ray player already installed. Just as Blu-Ray players will not play HD DVDs, the same goes for HD DVD players; they won't play BLU-Ray disks. However, the comany LG has released a dual-format player on the market which will play both HD DVDs and Blu-Rays, and Samsung plans to release their new dual-format players by January of 2008. The LG and Samsung players will each cost around $1000. One more thing: Both Blu-Ray and HD DVD players WILL play standard DVDs and use an "upconvert" feature to polish the appearance of your standard definition movies so they look almost as good as High definition movies. Music CDs can also be played in MOST high definition players, at least the newer ones. Check with the retailer or manufacturer if CD playback is really important to you.
Do HD dvds play on Blu-ray?

Can DVD players play HD DVD?
HD DVD is an obsolete format: Toshiba stopped supporting it in February 2008. You still see the players around in discount stores, but no-one is making the discs anymore. The remaining format for high definition DVD is blu ray. To play a HD DVD disc (assuming you have one) you need a HD DVD player (it will also play standard DVDs). For a blu ray disc you need a blu ray player (it will also play standard DVDs). A standard DVD player will not play either HD DVD or blu ray, and cannot be altered so that it will play either (a standard DVD player uses the wrong kind of scanning laser).
