Even I don't (and probably will never) have a DVD-RAM disc I found this video pretty interesting. Though I've got a question: after you pull out the disc out of the cartridge how do you know you're going to put the disc into the player the right side?

It's usually printed on the hub of the disc. Will say "Side A" on one side. If you can read it, then the side facing down (that the laser will read) is Side A.

That just makes me more curious as to where the mini-dvdram caddy is supposed to go, since I've only seen full-sized 5.25 Caddy drives that look like they only accept 5.25 caddies

It was only certain brands - like Hitachi (at 0:42 in the video) - that used the caddy. Most DVD camcorders (like Sony & JVC) used bare discs. The caddy was actually a good idea because most of the mini-dvds we see at the store are covered in fingerprints. But it was probably more expensive to produce both the cartridge discs and the equipment that accepted them. This was the first time we saw a mini-disc in a caddy and we've probably seen thousands of bare 8cm discs over the past 20 years. We have a bunch of Panasonic equipment that accepts the full-sized caddies. Panasonic also had one line of camcorders that took bare mini-DVD discs and another that took mini DVD-RAM in cartridges so it looks like they couldn't make up their minds back then either.

I have a Hitachi DZ-MV100A DVD Cam and would like to read these disks in my Mac computer. Will any DVD-RAM external drive work for this? Do you recommend any?

Any DVD-RAM drive should work but you're more likely to have trouble finding the correct software. Panasonic had software for the PC - not sure what was available for a Mac.

Please help me how to record a movie on it, so that a Panasonic music center with dvd-ram support can read it. I was recording music files, but the music center didn't even see the disc

I have two full sized disk but no reader, can i just take the full sized ones out and put them in to a normal drive ? in a pc? to get the data off, they belong to a friends dead mum and i work in i.t and said i would try, but dont want to damage them.

Maybe - if your drive supports DVD-RAM it might work. You will not hurt the disc trying.
