The upconverting player takes a SD signal (720x480) and scales it up to 720p or 1080p.

The HD signal takes a High-res signal (in the HD disc) and plays it on the TV. It can also upconvert SD DVDs.

In general, most HDTVs do a pretty good job upconverting SD signals, so if you buy a DVD player, either buy the cheapest SD player you can find or buy an HD/Blu-Ray player.

The question itself isn't too clear because there isn't such a thing as an HDTV player. However, what I think you might be referring to is a Blu-Ray DVD Player, and/or an HD-DVD Player. For now, I'll assume that is the case.

A DVD player with HD upconversion will simply play regular DVDs and "upconvert" them to an HD resolution for playing on an HDTV. The upconversion is a process whereby the DVD player takes a regular (non-HD) DVD disc and:

1. Reads the (non-HD) information stored on the disc

2. Calculates and guesses to convert that non-HD signal into an HD signal, and

3. Outputs that pseudo-HD signal to an HDTV

A Blu-Ray and an HD-DVD player uses different discs (Blu-Ray and HD-DVD discs, obviously) that have actual HD video on them.

Of course, this means that the quality will be much better of a Blue-Ray or HD-DVD player than a regular DVD player with HD upconversion, since the latter is just guessing how the HD would look like.

I hope that came across a bit clearer. :)
