Perhaps Steven W has a slot loading one, and is worried about the 8cm DVD getting stuck in the mechanism.

I know that some slot loaders will cope just fine with 8cm discs. I know when the original blue iMac came out, we had one at work, and I tried an 8cm CD in it, and it coped just fine. The trouble is, you can't tell which player will cope, and you don't want to be taking them appart to un-jam them if they don't.

If I where Steven W, I would be buying a regular tray loading DVD recorder for my PC for £20 or so, and using it to copy the camcorder DVDs when necessary. If his usage of his camcorder is anthing like mine, he will be using less than one disc a month once the novelty has worn off
