Can I use a Mini DVD in my computer

I have an Envy 23 all in one computer with the DVD-CD drive which is upright built into the side. I also have a DVD camcorder that used DVD-RW MINI disks. Can I put the mini disks in this disk drive safely or will they get STUCK in there. So far I can't find any documentatio and I am AFRAID to put a mini disk in this drive for fear I won't be able to get it out.

You cannot use "mini-discs" in your slot-load CD/DVD drive. Inserting a "mini-disc" into the drive may cause permanent damage to the drive.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Can I burn to mini-DVD disc

    Can I burn to mini-DVD discs on my iBook G4? I have a superdrive and I have burned the project succesfully on a regular DVD but the person that I am burning it for was told it had to be turned in on a mini-DVD.
    Not knowing if the mini would be compatiable or possibly get stuck I was afraid to try it without some comformation that it has been done by someone else before. It is a work computer.
    I tried to burn it on my sons PC and on my Mom's PC but neither worked. Neither acknowledges the mini-DVD.

    Hi Amber,
    as Scalz wrote, never put non-standard-sized/shaped disks into slot-in drives...!!
    besides....
    miniDVD can have two meanings:
    * these %$§*? DVDcamcorders record on miniDVD (small diameter, but mainly DVD)
    * and you are able to burn a DVDcontent (muxxed mp2 stream) onto a CD-R - that is also called miniDVD.... I was able to fit 10min onto such, but my DVDstandalone doesn't accept such disks....
    my guess, the recipient of your project tries to use his DVDcamcorder as a DVDplayer.... wow....... you get "grown up" DVDplayers for 39$.....
    many external burners accept these miniDVD-r... maybe, someone can borrow you such? and, my guess, iDVD doesn't accept them, you need to use Toast (as I did for my dvd-cd-r experiment)

  • Can I use a mini CD-R in my PowerBook CD Drive?

    No.

    That's exactly what can happen.
    Apple says don't do it.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. If your Mac is compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, you can watch your DVD in your TV with the Apple TV. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 You just have to play the DVD on your MacBook and turn on AirPlay Mirroring.
    If your Mac isn't compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, you can use a third-party app like Beamer

  • Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Hi there,
    Did you find out anything more in regard to this?
    I have been using Pro Tools 8 with the MBox 2 connected to my iMac operating Leopard. It worked a treat for nearly four years.
    However the hardrive has just been replaced on the iMac which now has Snowleopard.  I don't want to have to update to Lion and then fork out £500 for Pro Tools 10. 
    I would be content to get Logic Pro 9 if I can attach the MBox 2 to it.
    Your advice would be appreciated

  • Can i use HP external DVD writer on Mac Book pro with retina display?

    can i use HP external DVD writer on Mac Book pro with retina display? and can i use seagate external hard disk on mac book pro with retina display?

    You should have no problem using the external optical drive. As for the external HD, you'll need to format it properly, depending on whether you want to use it with a Windows machine as well as your MacBook Pro.

    WiFi works wherever you can find a WiFi Access Point/Router and you know the connection passcode, or it is an open wifi.

  • Satellite P200D-134 - can not use the Toshiba DVD player

    I have the Satellite P200D-134 and can not use the Toshiba DVD player.
    It displays an error message.
    "Required modules missing for this application"
    In Vista it worked everything fine.
    Now I upgraded Windows 7 Ultimate and all Toshiba programs are gone.
    And I can not use the Software HD DVD player or other Software from Toshiba.
    What should I do?
    Does anyone have any advice? Is there any help?
    Please write back in German or English.
    Thank you!

    Hi
    Did you install the VAP (value added package)?
    If not do that!!!
    Furthermore I recommend installing the DVD Player Update Check Tool which can be found on the Toshiba European driver page.
    With this tool, you can check your notebook, if your DVD-Player needs a Upgrade and if yes, it gives you the download link for the needed upgrade version.
    By the way: If you cannot find the DVD Player for Win 7 in P200D section then you can download this from the P500 section!

    No, the iPad won't recognise it. If you are wanting to copy content to the iPad then you will need to copy it to your computer first, and you can then sync it to your iPad.
