Can a HD Divx or WMW movie be played off a -R DVD Burnt to..

I'm pretty sure it could be played, but wouldn't play back as High
Definition.

DVD players use red lasers which don't have the enough storage capabilities
to transfer an HD picture. Hence the term, Blu-Ray High Def DVD player.

Apples and oranges. Assuming the DivX or WM file fits on the DVD-ROM, it
should play back in real time without too much trouble. The compression is
quite a bit greater than with ordinary DVD material, and most DVD-ROM
drives are faster than a regular DVD.
