USING DISC IN DVD DRIVE BUILT INTO PC

If you have a PC with the drive conforming to the disc used, and the application software, you can
directly insert the disc into the drive to use it.
Whether a disc conforms to the DVD drive will depend on the DVD drive: Use a DVD drive that
conforms to each disc.
Finalised DVD-RW/DVD-R/+RW discs can be used with DVD-ROM drive (reading only).
The slot-in type drive of Macintosh is not compatible with an 8 cm disc: Be sure not to use the
drive, since a disc inserted by mistake cannot be removed.
