How to I get video from a minidisc onto my computer?

Question

I tried firewire but that didn't work. Are there docking stations that rip from minidiscs? Or can I put the disc in my cd/dvd drive? I also feel like I heard a rumor that there were minidisc to dvd adapters....

Answer 1

Are you sure you know what you are talking about.

MiniDisk refers to the small magneto-optical standard developed by sony in the late 90s to replace cd. It came in a plastic square cartridge.

Mini CD/DVDs are just regular cd/dvds that fit into the inner tray of a cd/dvd rom drive tray.

UMDs from sony are based on MiniDisk, and no real research has been done into that matter, but they come in a D-shaped plastic cartridge.....

To actally copy minidisk there are some very....and i mean....prototype rare readers/writers that can write data to minidisks. There is a ATA model and a SCSI model i believe....and rarely available on ebay...

Ripping DVD I usually use E.M. Free DVD copy. because it lets me rip dvd easily, and it allows me rip DVD to other popular video formats such h264, Xvid, MOV, VOB, Mpeg, Mpeg4, Mpeg TS, AVI, WMV, and so on.

so I can watch dvd movies on portable player like iPod, iPhone etc. conveniently. it can divides dvd into different chapters, I can rip my I favorite ones. in addtion to, it can copy whole DVD to hard disc.
