Guess you're not going to get any responses then...

I remember reading somewhere that DVD Player plays both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray formats.

Yeah, it will, it's one of the new features of "DVD Player"

Wait, DVD player will be able to play HD and blu ray formats, linkage anywhere...?

This late in the game, someone with a dev build should be able to answer this.

I have a Blu-Ray player but no access to Leopard though.

I don't see why not. All the devs have to do is program it to work with both. The challenge would be finding a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD drive that'll work with the Mac.

I haven't heard any stories of it actually working. I've heard that it should, but haven't seen any proof.

I saw a story showing that HD/BR prefs had been added, but that it still wouldn't actually play the movies. If someone can confirm that they actually play, then please post here 🙂
