The only mini-DVD i have tried is the "miniDVD/cDVD/DVD NTSC Sample" downloaded from VCDHelp on the 10:th of July 2002. At this time, the DVD contains a menu and three clips.
When I inserted the CD into the player, it did not recognize the mini-DVD, but entered the Smart-Navi mode:

I could then navigate down to the VIDEO_TS folder and select one of the MPEG files. |
This is what happened when I selected the different clips:
 |
The menu This clip was displayed once, but I did not have any chance to make any selections. But I guess you can't expect this as the player just plays this as an MPEG stream. |
 |
Dolby Digital
5.1 Trailer (a clip from "The Simpsons") This clip worked as expected, with sound (digital or analog, depending on what the player was setup to output). |
 |
VCD with MPEG
Audio (a clip from "Spaceballs") The video part worked without problems, but there was no sound whatsoever. Neither on the analog or the digital output. |
 |
SVCD with MPEG
Audio (a clip from "Chicken run") The video part worked without problems, but there was no sound whatsoever. Neither on the analog or digital output. |
I also did the same tests with a CD-RW, and got the exact same results.
