I want to play mini cds in a standard slot drive in laptop.

I have a laptop with a standard slot drive CD/DVD player. It will not accept mini CD/DVDs. I have seen a picture of a Philips product with a model number of SBC3580, but Philips does not recognize this product or model number. Can I purchase such an adapter?

    There is no tray. It is a slot drive. No matter how many times I insert the mini cd at various positions in the slot, it is kicked back out. There must be some sort of adapter I can purchase. I have seen it, but don't know where to purchase it.

    the mini and stardard CD/DVD have the exact same center hole. any of the CD/DVD player should able to accept and play CD/DVD. just make sure the CD/DVD is center when you insert it.

You should notice in your cd tray a smaller cutout in the center. That is specifically for mini cds.

Why my laptop DVD player freezes suddenly while playing, just on some certain CDs or DVDs even the same CDs or DVDs works properly in other laptops and PC?
Seems your laptop DVD player's laser diode lost it's capacity. If it is not that old, try the followings:
1. Blow some air with a watch air blower or an air can. Try the DVD/CD which freezes. If this doesn't work
2. Put a drop of lens cleaner and wipe with caution to the lens. Wait for a few second and try playing the DVD/CD. Don't use force when cleaning the lens. This should be just touch and wipe action.

If this is not the case and the drive is old, you need to replace the drive. This should cost about 30$ to 45$. I did mine last month.
Good luck

I have an Hitachi with mini dvds. They play back on the camera but not on the computer. HELP!
First find the format of the video.

Insert the video cd to the computer and right click the video file and the click the properties menu, watch the file type(i.e: .flv , .avi ,.wmv)

Basically the hitachi saves in mpeg2 or mpeg4 type.

Use the GOM player to play the video Or there are many more players available to play that video.

I purchased a plextor px-870a dvd/cd writer to replace the cd writer in our computor it is a dell with a dvd player in the top slot and a cd writer in the next slot down but the cd writer stoped working so...
On the back of a CD-writer or a DVD-writer is a small grid (2 rows) of gold pins.

Each vertical set of pins is labelled: MA(ster), SL(ave), and C(able)S(elect).
Be sure that one drive has a small jumper between the MA pins,
and the other drive has a small jumper between the SL pins.

Was there any software on CD-ROM that came with the DVD-writer,
e.g., software to play DVDs, and software to write CDs and DVDs?
To "play" a DVD, you'll need that software.
To "play" a music CD, Windows Media Player will suffice.

I want to play mini cds standard slot drive in laptop.
Since Philips has sold their name and US product lines to the junk dealer Funai, it might be available under their name now.
You could also purchase an external drive to expand your possibilities; they are on eBay for ~ $50 US.
