Can a DVD-HD working in a regular DVD player?

I just bought Star Trek (The Original series) season 1 dvd box set. One side of the disc is HD-DVD, DVD on the other side. Neither my DVD player or my computer will read the HD-DVD side of the disc. I noticed that the surface of this side of the disc seems weird. Kinda refracted as vegetable oil in water. So are the bad drive, or HD-DVD a different format?

No HD-DVD should be played on an HD-DVD. It's not really a different format, but the tracks are recorded more closely, which requires a finer resolution than the DVD drive laser, can accomplish. If you have an Xbox 360 you may be able to make the HD-DVD player designed for it cheaply (about $ 50). Otherwise, if you do not want to spring for an obsolete player, you're stuck with the DVD side.

Star Trek $40 In Star Trek Chris Gregory analyses the reasons for the continuing success of the Star Trek phenomenon, traces its overall development and comments on how the differences between 1990s and 1960s series reflect changes in the mass media environment during this period. He examines Star Trek as a series of generic and mythological texts, compares TV and filmed versions, explores its ‘cult’ appeal and looks in detail at its psychological, social and political themes.

Star Trek: That Which Divides $6.35 Located in an area of non-aligned space near Federation and Romulan territory, the Kondaii system is home to a unique stellar phenomenon: a spatial rift that opens every three years in proximity to the system’s sole inhabited planet. Only during this brief period is communication possible with the small, mineral-rich planetoid inside the rift. The local population has established a mining colony on this planetoid, and for the limited du ration that the rift is open, a massive interplanetary operation is set into motion: ferrying mineral ore to the home planet while simultaneously transferring personnel and replenishing essential supplies and equipment—everything necessary to sustain the colony before it once again enters forced isolation. While studying the rift, the science vessel U.S.S. Huang Zhong is severely damaged and crash-lands on the planetoid. After the Starship Enterprise arrives to conduct rescue operations, evidence quickly points to the rift’s artificial nature. It is a feat far beyond the capacity of the local inhabitants, and presents an alluring mystery for Captain James T. Kirk and his crew. It also attracts the attention of the Romulans, who are most interested in studying and perhaps seizing this supposed advanced technology—by any means necessary.
