How to Play an HD DVD on a Blu-Ray

Blu-ray is the latest innovation in discs for movie storage and viewing. It is currently the optimal technology for high-definition movies and videos. Each disc holds up to 25 gigabytes of movie data, and a double-layer disc can hold up to 50. Blu-ray disc players can also play DVDs, and automatically give them a "boost" to make them look more high-definition. If you have an HD DVD, you can play it easily on your Blu-ray player.
