How is Blue Ray different from HD DVD?

How to watch HD DVD in my blue ray magnavox player?

My Philip magnavox blue ray player is capable of playing regular dvd, but when I put in HD DVD in my player, it doesn't seem to work. It has a label marking that it plays Full HD. Is there a setting that I need to do in order for me to watch HD DVD in my blue ray magnavox player?
Answer:

HD DVD and Blu-Ray DVD were two incompatible competing HD formats. Blu-Ray won HD lost. Unless you buy a DVD player especially made to play HD DVD's they wont play. It was like the Betamax vs VHS in the early 1980. VHS won. You can't play a Betamax tape in a VHS machine. You can't play a HD DVD in a Blu-Ray machine.
