Blu-Ray technology is the successor to DVD technology and is significantly more powerful (similar to DVD being the successor to the VHS format). This allows films on Blu-Ray to look crisper, sharper, and generally higher quality. DVDs remain popular with many people who prefer a lower price to a better picture.

What kind of DVD player will play HD DVDs?

To play a high definition DVD, you need a high definition DVD player. There are two types available currently. HD DVD, developed by Toshiba is one and BluRay, developed by Sony is the other. They are not compatible, so an HD DVD will not play on a BluRay player and a BluRay disc will not play on an HD DVD player. BluRay looks like it is the winner in the format war between the two companies over the last years so it is likely that Toshiba's format will disappear in the coming months. Note that HD DVD can refer to the Toshiba format but it can also refer to high definition DVDs in general.
