Answer
One advantage of HDMI cables is that it's all bundled in a single run. So it's easier hookup and less mess behind the equipment. For 1080p video games, you'll notice a slight difference between HDMI cables and good Component cables. Beyond that, it's worthless.
HDMI is just a cable; it doesn't upgrade anything. Your DVD apparently has an upconverter so you have the option of using an HDMI cable for direct connection. Saying that converting a standard signal to an HD signal will improve it is like saying that spraying perfume on a dog turd will improve it. The axiom has ALWAYS been: Garbage In, Garbage Out.
Use your HDMI cable if you like. It won't hurt anything. It also won't help anything, no matter what the geek hype. It's purely up to you.

i have a phillips dvd player that has an hdmi output to transform regular movies into hd movies. can i also play movies that are already in hd?
Answer
No. The electronics and optics in your Philips DVD player are designed to only play DVD discs, even though they do "upscale" them to HD when playing via the HDMI output.
HD-DVD is a totally different format to DVD, even though the discs are the same size. For starters, the "pits" on an HD-DVD that store the digital information are a lot smaller than on a DVD; DVD players use a red laser to read the discs; for HD-DVD, you need a blue laser (blue light has a shorter wavelength than red light), as the wavelength of the red laser in a normal DVD player is too big to be able to resolve the tiny pits on an HD-DVD.
Secondly, even when physical considerations like that are taken into account, the format of the data on the two discs is likely to be totally different too - meaning that the electronics in your player would not be able to handle the data on an HD-DVD even if the laser in your player was able to read it.
