HD
DVD players play high definition discs which are supposed to be the
successor to standard digital video discs. Because of the shorter wavelength
of laser required to read the discs, they can hold up to 3.1 times more
information than regular DVDs.
Which companies make HD DVD Players?

Other companies like Sony have opted not to produce HD DVD players;
they have chosen to produce Blu-ray (another format of high definition
discs). Recently, Warner Brothers have decided to ditch releasing their
movies on HD DVD as well, which may signal the end of the format and
make way for Blu-ray’s market dominance.
