It is a regular DVD, not a BluRay or HD-DVD.(as noted under the Catagory above). I personally believe that Blu-Ray is going to go to the Betamax pergatory, along with 4-track, 8-track and cassettes. Vinyl may be making a nostalgic comeback, but as far as over all consumer acceptance, I think that HD-DVD will win this VHS/Betamax-style battle......but that's just my opinion. Hey, what do I know....I am holding on to my VHS collection until my machines either bite it or the tapes do.
