[QUOTE="Alexis, post: 405582, member: 16911"] It will play high definition video from the internet no problem: [url]http://www.apple.com/trailers/[/url], but no Apple hardware has anything more than a DVD-RW drive built in at present. At the moment though, physical playback from disc is more of a problem. Apple support Blu Ray, so I'd expect to see Apple hardware incorporating Blu Ray drives in the next 6-12 months. The next version of OS X, Leopard should also be better equipped for Blu Ray (and probably HD-DVD) drives. To be honest, with the Playstation3 fully incorporating Blu Ray and the XBox 360 tentatively supporting HD-DVD, along with more film companies supporting Blu Ray, I'd say HD-DVD is a poorer horse to back. Sony are putting Blu Ray in their PS3 at a loss, to get it established, which is a trick Microsoft have missed. The screen resolution of a 20" iMac is 1680 x 1050, so well exceeding high definition's 1080. [/QUOTE]
