Louse76 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hey Guys! I've got OSX 10.5.1 on my lappy, and was happy to see that I could record clips and stick the Mini DVDR in and have iMovie find it and import without me even finalizing the disk! However, I don't really want to dedicate all of the time to tweaking OSX86 - I just don't have the time in my current situation. So I'm thinking about getting a MacBook. However... not all slot load DVD drives can take Mini-DVDs... can MacBooks? I'm thinking of getting a 2.16 GHz Refurb one directly from Apple. It would be dumb if I couldn't read the Mini DVDs... probably a deal breaker. I found a PS3 could read them. That was to my suprise! I read that the Wii was the first drive able to do this. Is that true? Thaaaanks! You guys rock! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94916-macbooks-slot-load-dvd-drives-take-mini-dvds/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louse76 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 OK... I checked into it and it appears it doesn't. That's pretty poor considering the Wii and PS3 can do it... wtf? Anyways... is there a converter I can buy?

The iMan Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 OK... I checked into it and it appears it doesn't. That's pretty poor considering the Wii and PS3 can do it... wtf? Anyways... is there a converter I can buy? I guess that means most likely iMac Macbook Pro and Mac Mini dont work either Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94916-macbooks-slot-load-dvd-drives-take-mini-dvds/#findComment-677285 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Masked Muchacho Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Adapters do exist to allow you to use the mini cd/dvds in a slot loading drive but couldnt find anywhere with any in stock (to be honest i didnt try hard) amazon may get them in again soon. heres thier page Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94916-macbooks-slot-load-dvd-drives-take-mini-dvds/#findComment-678210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
