How to Convert a Mini DVD Tape to a CD
There are many digital video cameras available that record the content onto a mini DVD tape. This device, not to be confused with a mini DVD, is actually a small DVD roughly half the size of a standard video DVD. The video camera records the data of the footage into individual files, allowing you to upload the data of the mini DVD to your computer without a video editor. It is also possible to convert the data from your mini DVD onto a CD.

Select "Data CD" as the disc format, then click-and-drag the video files you imported from the mini DVD into the open CD burning window. Once you have imported all the video files your CD can hold (a CD holds roughly half the storage of a mini DVD), click "Burn" and the data from the mini DVD is converted to the CD. Your CD burning program has a display that shows how much room is left on the CD while importing the video clips, so you know exactly how many files it can hold.
