  1. HelloI was just wondering if it is possible to buy/burn a vcd onto a 3" cd? The cd's hold 180mb and if they follow the rule, should play around 18 minutes? I never herd of them until this morning, but i found out about them at http://www.cd-rom-works.com/3inch_cd.htm
    Has anyone tried/got a vcd on one of these? they fit in dvd players, because my friend said they fit on a little ring.

    It should work, as the directory is held on the inner edge of the disc.
    You shouldn't need a a ring, as most players (if not all) have a slight depression for inserting these discs. If it is not a horizontally mounted drive you will need a holder. I have seen writeable credit card shaped CDs too, used for promotional purposes. and other shaped CDs, such as teddies and hearts, but that's a bit sad.

    My portable DVD player hates spinning up those little suckers with anything but CD-DA audio on them.

    I bought a pack of Verbatim mini-cdrs. They cost twice as much as a 700mb and hold as fraction as much. But they look so cool that everyone needs at least a few. I loaded mp3s onto one and my mp3cd player and standalone player have no troubles with it. I see no reason why a VCD would not work. I wonder how much video you could fit on this using miniDVD!? a few minutes?
