Not in any available standalone player.

If you have a DVD drive in a sufficiently powerful computer you could
play a data stream off the drive if it is fast enough. If it isn't, you
can copy the data to a hard drive and play it from there.

In theory, there is a way. In practice, you might not have what is needed.
If your player can't handle any HD content, maybe some computer software
can (then it's a matter of what your computer has). But I would think that
a future HD-DVD or Blu-Ray machine would handle "legacy DVDs" and even be
able to handle HD content from them. OTOH, many manufacturers are quite
creative in making things not work, so good luck.
