Now the HD disc format war is over it's probably safe to say that Bluray has the better picture because it's still available. HD-DVD was withdrawn in 2009 as it became obvious that the video industry were supporting Bluray and consumers followed suit.

However, both formats used similar signal compression techniques, used the same resolutions and therefore there was little to choose between them. Comparing the formats, both were capable of delivering the same quality.

HD DVD is now an unused format. The two were released as competing formats and HD DVD was withdrawn after only a year after launch.

Both formats delivered HD replay so there was little to choose between the quality of them.

Bluray is a disc format that is capable of delivering HD standard video signals. Bluray is a storage format only so it cannot be compared directly to any specific video format.

Blu-Ray. It offers almost double the quality of HD programming that you see on TV or on a standard HD DVD.

Yes. Not only because of the high definition, but Blu-Rays hold up 5 times more data than a DVD can

What is better Blu-ray or HD?

Bluray and HD DVD are the two trade names for high definition discs and players. Bluray is by far the better choice for the simple reason that HD DVD was withdrawn in 2009. Bluray had won the HD format war so HD DVD quietly left the stores. There are a number of HD DVD discs around as well as the players. As the two systems are in-compatible, don't trash your HD DVD player just yet. It will still do a do job of playing the HD DVD discs you still have.

Can you upgrade your HD DVD player to play Blu-ray discs?

HD DVD and Bluray are both high definition disc formats but they were not only competitive formats but incompatible formats as well. While the battle for the HD market was in progress a handful of players were sold that would support both formats. These players were expensive and very few were ever sold. Unfortunately, HD DVD only players will not play Bluray and Bluray players will not play HD DVD discs. It is still worth keeping HD DVD players as they are the only players capable of HD DVD discs.

Do dvd's have to be marked HD in order to play in HD?

There are three storage formats for video discs: A DVD will carry standard definition video and will be described simply as "DVD". DVDs can be played on standard definition DVD players as well as either of the HD disc players mentioned below. Regardless of the player used, the image will always be standard definition. HD DVD is one of the two HD disc formats. The disc will be described as an "HD DVD". This format was withdrawn in 2009 when Bluray won the HD format war. HD DVD players and discs are still around but none are sold commercially now. These discs can only be played on HD DVD players. Bluray is the other HD video disc format. They will always be described as "Bluray". They can only be played on Bluray players and will not operate on standard DVD players. Nor will they play on an HD DVD player. Note: HD DVD is the product trade name of the now defunct high definition disc format. It is also commonly used in reference to an disc that supports high definition video. Therefore, is it sometimes used as a reference to Bluray. Although Bluray is a high definition DVD, it is NOT an "HD DVD". As the HD DVD format moves into the history books of television, the term is used more and more to refer to Buray even though it is strictly not the correct term.
