Is the 3 inch CD compatible with iMacs.

Are 3 inch CDs compatible with the iMac CD-ROM drive? I purchased a camcorder which stated it was compatible with a OS 10.4 system. When I opened the package I then discovered the size of the CD training/editing CD driver. Has anybody out there ever insert a 3 inch CD into an iMac's side CD drive? thanks

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

No, you can only use standard size CDs & DVDs in your iMac's SuperDrive.

Depending on the Camcorder, you maybe able to connect it straight up to the iMac?

If not, then you will have to use either a tray loading external drive or a DVD recorder to copy the video from the camcorder to a standard size disc.
