Dual layer DVD = 8.5 Gb

HD-DVD = up to 30 Gb

Blu-ray = up to 50 Gb

I'd hardly rate HD DVD as a slight upgrade, but being less than Blu-ray it was always going to be the underdog in the new format wars.

The HD DVD was just as capable of holding a movie in full HD quality as blu ray - so there was no difference in terms of movies, or quality. Storage capacity is the only real difference.
