says"also on display are 8cm Mini Blu-ray discs, which have a capacity of 16.5 GB by using a single-layer recording material structure. The Blu-ray minis will be available in BD-R and BD-RE formats. Complementing the TDK lineup are thermal and inkjet printable BD-Rs that will begin shipping in the second quarter of 2007."

thats a typo right thats dule layer?

The Maxell 8cm BDs claim 7.5 GB.

So a DL would be 15GB.

I think TDK (or was it Verbatim) said 7.8 GB on the 8cm discs.

UMD BD, here I come!

Will these 8cm mini Blu-ray discs work in PS3s due to it's front-loading disc-insertion mechanism? I've only ever had tray CD/DVD drives before which all oviously support 8cm media but I can see issues with the PS3 and wouldn't want to try an 8cm disc incase it gets jammed!

One of these dual layer discs holds 3gb more data than a dual-layer HD-DVD!

Only BLU-RAY devices with trays will work with the small discs. These 8MM discs would be ideal for BLU-RAY camcorders with 1080P and 3 CCD’s.

HDTV1080P · 04-17-2007, 05:56 PM

It is so obvious BLU-RAY is better then HD-DVD. BLU-RAY could release movies on a small 8CM disc and still have more room for better quality movies then HD-DVD.

Single layer 8CM Blu-ray disc 16.5GB
Dual layer 8CM Blu-ray disc 33GB

HD-DVD full size single layer 15GB
HD-DVD full size dual layer 30GB
BLU-RAY full size single layer 25GB
BLU-RAY full size dual layer 50GB

Coming some time in the future is multilayer 100GB and 200GB BLU-RAY discs.

I have not checked the instruction manual yet, but some one mentioned that the PS3 already accepts mini CD’s, DVD’s, and BLU-RAY discs. Make sure you verify this with the instruction manual before inserting a 8CM disc.

donricouga · 04-18-2007, 03:43 PM

Correct. It does, just like the wii, the ps3 drive also accepts mini-discs

Forresttheman · 05-09-2007, 08:31 PM

could this mean some for the PSP?

msupe · 05-09-2007, 08:42 PM

I use mini dvds from my camcorder on the ps3 it works fine. I was scared to try it at first because i didnt want to mess up my ps3. but the slot grabs it

Just as some one else stated, Nintendo's Wii is also a slot loading disc console. It has no trouble what so ever with 8cm Game Cube discs. I don't see why Sony's PS3 would be any diffrent. I am sure that you can pop a mini DVD from a Sony Dvd camcorder (or any DVD camcorder) into a PS3 and have it play just fine.

Edit: damn! some one beat me to it, oh well

Well first of all the PSP doesn't read blu-ray discs and 2 its a 8cm mini disc not UMD But!

Maybe for the psp2 we will see Blu-Ray UMD's? Actually A better Idea would be to make the PSP2 play 8cm Blu-Ray discs. That way it could play 8cm Blu-Ray movies too.

Infact I garentee it!

Huh it works. Have you forgotten. Nintendo's Wii is Slot loading, It has no trouble using 8MM Game Cube disks.

embarrasing for HD DVD. Even BD's little brother still can beat HD DVD in capacity :lol:
