Sorry mis-cat, when I say HD dvds I mean blu-ray. So I'm right in saying that a simple dvd player (or even a top-end dvd player) will never be able to play HD content? Does that mean that if you bought a video camera that recorded in HD you wouldn't be able to play it back on a standard DVD player (even if it had hdmi output)?

I think Al Jazeera have an HD channel, and maybe a few others.
