Can I insert mini-dvd's from my Sony Handycam into the slot drive on my iMac OSX?
 
No, mini DVDs (8.5cm) are not meant for slot-drives, only for tray loading drives.


Even though some might get tired of reading this, the thread title guy strikes again:

A more descriptive and precise thread title will help cater to the right audience and get you more responses.

Have you also taken a look at http://mroogle.*************/MRoogleSmall.gif[/CENTER],since that question may have been asked several times?
 
Thank you for your reply! Any advice for importing footage from a mini dvd sony handycam that seems to be incompatible with my new mac?
 
Get an external tray loading DVD drive, use a tray loading DVD drive on another computer and transfer via LAN or external HDD or flash memory stick.

Or if the camera has a USB port use that to read the DVD inside the camera, if that is possible.

Maybe you can have a look at the manual of the camera?
