A DVDA is just a bunch of files sitting in an AUDIO_TS folder on a DVD disc.If HD DVD uses the same file structure it's nothing more than a bigger disc. Just like a DVD9 is a bigger disc than a DVD5
or a bigger harddrive in a computer.

would love to read more about it. if you can post a link would appreciate it very much.
I'm not shure if that will be the case.Have to look into that in more detail.
It boils down to the player ability to read the files from the file structure. Just like it doesn't matter for an excel or a word file stored in FAT32 or a NTSF file structure. The files are exactly the same. It's just the storage that is different.
Since future Blueray/HD DVD players must be backward compatible with the current DVD format it's only logical to assume that file structure compatibility isn't a problem.

*** Since future Blueray/HD DVD players must be backward compatible with the current DVD format it's only logical to assume that file structure compatibility isn't a problem. ***current DVD players are "backward compatible" with CD but the file structure is completely different. DVD-A players are "backward compatible" with DVD-V but the file structure is different, except they share the underlying filesystem.
Current DVD players don't have difficulties reading different underlaying file systems.
So why assume that this would be a problem in future HD players?
