Can't see it happening. DVD will not play in CD players except those in computers in the main. The mini CD discs are as near as dead as it's possible to get. Second hand mini disc players are at give away prices. I would like to see the manufacturers come up with discs that are instantly different so I can avoid keep putting the wrong one into the burner but the difference is capacity is fine.
Your difference in size is more or less as we have already. 700 megs for CD and 4.7 gigs or 8.6 gigs for dual layer DVD's. To have a smaller DVD would be to have the CD as we already do have now. Roger Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once. ----- Original Message ----- From: "albert griffith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2007 11:46 PM Subject: RE: understanding Dvd-r discs > Gary, Regular Cd's hold enough data to be around for quite awhile.
