The answer to the question title in this link is "No", but there are other useful bits and pieces in the article and links.

Can I Play a Blu-ray Disc on an HD-DVD player or Vice-Versa?

Thank every one for the information. By the way the progam ASUS sent was WinDVD but did not work I will try some of the others. Sorry if anyone miss understood the question yes I was after a player for the HDDVD drive that came with the notebook as software was not provided.

As HD-DVD is a defunct technology now, it may be your drive that is not be able to play the HD-DVD, check the stats on the DVD that is in your laptop/PC...

There are only a few Combo drives that will play BlueRay and HD-DVD...
