No, it's not backwards compatible. You must have an HD Player to use it, no way around it. And no, Blu-ray does not play on HD players, or vice versa.

No, you can't play a HD-DVD in a standard DVD player.
Unless, it is one of those that specifically say you can. The technology does allow a HD-DVD to contain also the standard DVD data. When you put that into a DVD player it behaves just as a standard DVD and the HD part is ignored.
In short, to get a HD-DVD to work in HD then you need to have a HD-DVD player.

If it's an HD-DVD that happens to also contain a DVD-Layer. Otherwise, no.
