They don't exist yet. Heck, the first consumer DVD recorder has only just
appeared.
And Graham, I should tell you that 8cm DVDs (DVD-2, DVD-4) are already in
the specs. The only thing we are waiting for are portable devices that can
record them. You shouldn't even need an adaptor in most units, although
there may be problems with reflectivity and also the data format. At the
moment, there are many proposed recordable DVD video formats, and most of
them are incompatible with the current playback standard. (Much like CD-RW.)
Funnily enough, just as audio MDs are sawn-off CD-RWs, MD-Data2 discs are
sawn of DVD-RWs.
