It would be really really nice to be able to "legally" backup my HD-DVD movies in case my HD-DVD player goes bad or the media goes bad.

One can always wish I suppose, I would suspect the studios wouldn't like it very much.

How about the other way around??? Would be great to have capability to keep watching movies on my HDDVD player...

Right, because it's cheaper to *find* and buy an HD DVD burner, HD DVD-R discs, a plethora of software, the Blu-ray discs themselves, and the time to not only transcode the video, but *re-encode* them all to fit HD DVD's limited capacity & bit-rate. Oh, then there's BD+ standing in your way. Good luck with that.

Buy a Blu-ray player and be done with it.

Did I mention HD DVD-Rs are limited to single sided 15gb?
