	I have not found any hardware DVD player that will play the miniDVD
	format.   Seems that the players make a check for what type of media
	is loaded and if they find "CD-R/RW" then they do not look for the
	DVD filesystem structure.

	Software players will play the miniDVD format so it is possible to
	do some testing that way.

	For testing I use DVD+RW (or DVD-RW which is slower to start and
	fixate the disc).

	Cheers,
