How to Play a Mini DVD on a Computer
Mini-DVD is a format utilized in some camcorders and other media recording devices. A Mini-DVD is functionally no different than other forms of optical media--just restricted due to its size differences. While you might assume that you cannot play a Mini-DVD in the full-sized DVD-ROM located in your computer, that could not be further from the truth; these devices are engineered to accommodate Mini-DVDs as well as their full-sized brothers.
