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 This format was withdrawn in 2009 when Bluray won the HD format war.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.
Will Blu-ray disc players play the Blu-ray disc on a regular tube TV?
Most Bluray players can play either DVDs or Bluray discs using a standard definition television. Almost all Bluray players have an analog composite, S-video or component output that can be used. Before purchasing, check that the player has an output that the television can accept. Note that the quality of the image will be standard definition and not HD. All Bluray players today limit their analog outputs to SD so even with an HD television, analog inputs will not deliver HD images.
Is blueray compatible with a 720p tv?
A 720p television is a high definition one. That means that it will display both 720 and 1080 line material. It will also handle standard definition video - 576 or 480 line pictures. A Bluray player will play both high definition and standard definition discs. The two devices are designed and built to be fully compatible with each other so the television should operate flawlessly.
Does a Blu-ray player improve TV picture quailty?
No, they don't. Bluray players are capable of playing HD video content which is better quality than standard definition video. However, a Bluray player used to reply a DVD in standard definition will not improve the resolution of the image. This is the case even when the player up-scales the image to an HD format.
Can you play an HD DVD in a Blu-ray player?
The introduction of high definition discs saw two formats launched. Bluray is one and HD DVD was the other. The format war was won by the Bluray system and HD DVD was withdrawn in 2009. Both Bluray and HD DVD are high definition players but note that "HD DVD" is the name of the format and is confusingly close to the generic description of high definition disc players. Bluray and HD DVD are not compatible so a disc of one type will not play on the other format. There are a handful of dual format disc players but they were expensive and few were sold. If you have HD DVD discs then you need to hand on to an HD DVD player if you want to watch them. All high definition discs on sale now are Bluray and of course will need a Bluray player to play them.
