caption_attribution_description: English: Photograph of full-size (12cm) and "mini" (8cm) DVDs side by side.
context_page_description: MiniDVD is a DVD disc which is 8 centimetres in diameter. It refers two separated formats as well. One is a pseudo-format that uses 80mm CD-R to store contents with the same structure as the standard DVD-Video so that standalone DVD players can play it like standard DVD. The other format is a real DVD format, but in a smaller 80mm size, which holds 1.4 GB of data.
  The 8 cm optical disc format was originally used for music CD singles, hence the commonly used names CD single and miniCD. Similarly, the manufactured 8 cm DVDs were originally used for music videos and as such became known as DVD single.
  MiniDVD is known also as "3 inch DVD", referring to its approximate diameter in inches.
