miniDVD or cDVD is a DVD image burnt onto CD-R media (note: DVDs are NOT CD-based media -- they just come on a 12 cm sized disc).

This is not a standard and very few stand-alone players will play these discs (but they should work on most software DVD players on your PC).

I don't believe (I'm fairly certain actually) that the Apex will not play miniDVDs. The only confirmed players are the portable AIWA models and the Afreey and its clones.

Regards.

as the formers said the number of playes that can play minidvd is very little
the affrey can do it i don`t know about the apex
what it does is that it seaches for the software (directories) on the cd rather then your regular standalone players who will only play dvd when a dvd disc is inserted.

when you use minidvd you sould lower the resokution because you will probebly be using a lower bitrate and you will get crapy results if you work fullscreen.
