Hi we enjoy an Apple i mac, we are trying to put one of those small DVD's you get for camcorders into the side of the Imac, and as it does not enjoy a normal tray type cd/dvd loader, will it transport the small DVD into the side slot? I have stuck it within as far as I feel comfortable, but I am too disconcerted to let it dance incase it just falls inside never to be see again until I fork out oodles of cash to some techi!
Answers:
Slot loading drives are NOT compatible near small disks - they can get stuck and invalidate your warranty. Read the guide that came beside your iMac - the specifically mention that you CANNOT use 8cm (small) DVDs in the slot-loading iMac.
You have need of a tray loading drive for this.
I'd suggest purchasing one of those lb40 external DVD drives that go on public sale.
Or why not use the camera as a mass storage device and simply copy the video files to the iMac?
Can you finalise the disc to allow you to copy it?
better try a computer store and get a converter sleeve - if in that is one?
