I've got DVDs from a camcorder but they are those little baby ones.
The computer drive is on it's side so the DVD's just fall out.
Oh what shall I do?  |

Can't do that. The drive is vertical - I would have to put the puter on it's back and all the wires and whatnot get in the way...

| Never mount get a vertical mounted drive. The only solution I know of is to turn the computer on its side. Just mess with the wires or whatever and do it. |

I've seen adapters into which you can snap a mini-DVD so that it can be used in vertical-mount or slot-loading drives. It looks like a regular-size DVD with the center cut out.
I couldn't even begin to tell you where to find one, though. Perhaps Yongsan? |

Companies who give you small sized CDs should be punished! My LG Viewty phone came with its essential software on one of those (how much cheaper are they to produce than standard size CDs?).
The problem is that I have a DVD drive slot loader in my notebook... is there any guarantee that the disk will work and, more importantly, be ejected after use? No way am I going to test this on my own computer.
At today's costs manufacturers should be able to give you a tiny USB stick instead of a CD. |

I took 'em to a Kodak shop and got normal sized copies 5,000 won each.
Now I know a gadget exists I will keep my eyes peeled. |
