It would just be in standard def.

EDIT: I re-read my post. I got his question wrong... Woops.

I must have confused some people there.

Oh well. Sorry! I though he asked "Can you play blu-rays on a SD TV. Not "Can you play blu-rays on a Standard DVD player." :/
Sorry.

Am i forgiven?

But I think he was asking if a blu would play in his dvd player.

Sorry, that makes sense then. It is just the question said standard DVD, I did not want to further confuse the guy.

The entire discussions changed since the OP.

It's not a HD-DVD user but a DVD user that was confused.

Awesome. Looks like the OP isn't the only one confused now.

All I can think of while reading this is, is the OP a young kid that doesn't know much, or an old guy.

either way I feel bad for em, but also I can't understand how you mix up HD-DVD and DVD... also I find it odd that people ask if blu will work on a standard DVD player...

kinda like asking if a PS2 game will work with an xbox...

Did someone leave their post at the gates?

All this proves is that Toshiba was stupid for calling it HD DVD. Why? because it confuses some people. Case in point: this thread. But alas it does not matter anymore.

Well it's people who don't understand that the technology is not only within the new special disc. A lot of people think the disc is the update and not the player. It's not too outlandish to think a special disc alone could enhance the quality.

Even though I hear things like this twice a week they still surprise me too. You would think after a while we would understand that not everybody understands
