    Credit card DVD knoppix

    Anyone know if credit card sized dvdr's exist? If they do, do they have capacity for a knoppix disc?

    I'm tempted to dice up a few dvdr's and try, anyone got a dvd they'd let me test em in

    if they exist they should be able to contain a sizable knopix, some 350Mb or so.

    There are Mini DVD -R disks out there. (not quite business card sized)
    They store 1.4 gigs, and are designed for Mini DVD Recorders.
    The disks are very expensive, like 8 bucks a disk last time I checked.

    Also, there is no 'cutting down' of the +R media. it's two layers of plastic with dye in the middle.. DOES NOT CUT WELL AT ALL.

    dpends on how thae are cut i guess.
    cutting with scissors is NOT good, but a water cooled (distilled water) sharp finetooth slitting-disk in a shaper, and disk held in a fixture, should work.
    otoh that is byond 99% of us.
    the deburring and balancing are the hard parts...

    I don't think the watercooled thing would work either.

    with dvd+R media, it's a layer of plastic, some powdery dye (lilke from a dry erase board) and a layer of plastic.
    If you cut it, then air gets in between the disks.

    Maybe the cutter would work with the -R media.. it's a metallic layer on plastic?
    The +R is like a liquid/very fine powder type of thing.

    hmmmm, perhaps heat to cut? a hot wire at an angle would seal as it goes down... sadly 3mm or so around edge might be affected...
    There is ALLWAYS a way. one just has to find it. otoh it migh be an economic disaster, about like those X-boxes for M$.

    I'm thinking you could do it with a soupcan heated up to a coule hundred degrees.

    May need to lay an insulating mat on the disk, and put it between two sheets of metal to stop if from warping.

    Hand me a blowtorch.. .. and hold my beer, I'm gonna try something.

    DVD wallet cards the only one i could find

    The only wallet sized cards I could find were from a company that does the copying, silk screening and etc for you with a min order of 500

    http://www.cdfx.com/newsite/dvd_card.php

    DVD Business Card pricing from CDFX
    The following prices include all film work, mastering, content replication, 5 color cd face graphic printing and other miscellaneous charges. Packaging and shipping charges are not included.
    Turnaround times < 5 days are available upon request only. Each card has a maximum storage capacity of 475 MB. Dimensions are 63mm x 80mm.


    500 with a 25day turn around for $2.27 per disk
    1000 with a 25 day turn around for $1.22 per disk

    4c more to get them in 14days...

    Maybe some entrepreneur would like to buy 1000 of them Remaster a slimmed copy that's only 475mb and sell them for $2 a disk.

    I'll buy one

    I can not confirm this, it only seems to be this way from looking at DVDs, but it seems like DVD+R starts burning at the OUTSIDE of the disk, making a DVD+R mini-dvd impossible. However, I have a mini DVD-RW with Knoppix-STD on it. Seems that a standard ISO will work.

    mini-DVD-R KNOPPIX discs

    I have built and used a version on mini-dvd-r's which works great. as mentioned previously they hold 1.4G, so i can even include a divx movie with an image.

    prices are slowly coming down, i paid about $1.50 US per mini-dvd-r in packs of 20.

    the variant i build is called privacy knoppix (http://peertech.org/privacy-knoppix/) and includes tor, privoxy and squid.
