Tips
- What is Mini DVD?
- Mini DVD (MiniDVD or miniDVD) is a DVD disc having 8 cm in diameter. It is on a CD-R(W) instead of a DVD disc. A MiniDVD can be played back in most DVD players that are tray loaded. Most slotloading players like Mac DVD drive cannot play Mini DVD except the PlayStation 3 and the Wii. Directly putting mini-DVD into the DVD drive on Mac without a full-size adapter will make Mac get stuckor even completely ruin DVD drive. Mini DVD has become one of the most frequently used mediums particularly with camcorder recordings for its outstanding advantages, including random access (you canmake a play-list in edit/play mode in your camcorder), immediate playwrite/rewrite (you can immediately view your recordings with your camcorder), elimination of blank search, short of finalizationtime, production, one-stop production solution etc. And MPEG-2 is the format used to record Mini DVD.
- How to load Mini DVD to Mac

Attach the adapter to the mini-DVD and load it into the Mac's DVD drive to access the files. (Check the specifications of the adapter before purchasing, as several on the market donot work in vertical-loading drives like those found on the MacBook Pro.)
