Can anybody help me?? I just purchased a philips DVD player product DVP5960 that supposedly plays HD DVD. The product did not come with a HDMI cable so I purchased one seperatly. I then purchased the HD DVD 300 and it would not recognise the disc the player was reading 'no disc' After a bit of research I realised the player is compatible with 720p and 1080i and the DVD was 1080p will this dvd player play normal HD DVDs (1080p) or are there any HD DVDs that I can get hold of that are compatible (720p/1080i) or am I missing something??????????

first thing
it doesn't matter whats the resolution of the movie(ina way yes if u like the top of the spec's)
even though ur player isn't 1080p
it will downgrade to the players spec (downgrade- don't scare not in a bad way good way)

now if its dvd player hddvd won't play
u have to have hddvd player
now if its both formats
u need to flip the disc

The Philips DVP5960 does not play HD DVD's that's why it doesn't recognize the disc. It plays regular DVD's and upconverts them to 1080i.

To play HD DVD's you need to get one of the Toshiba HD DVD players or, if you have an XBox 360, the MS HD DVD add-on.

However, the 300 HD DVD is what's called a Combo Format disc:

The reverse side of the disc is a regular DVD. Just flip the disc over to Side B and it should play in your Philips.
