They are the size of a normal CD. However, the only way you could really watch one on your Quadra would be to connect a VCD player to the AV in ports on your Quadra...i don't think that the Quad would be powerful enough to play a VCD full screen, plus the 2x CD ROM would be too slow.  -------------------------- "I keep my friends close, but I keep my enemies closer" - Unkown Warrior maclover5

The 12" discs you're thinking of are laserdiscs. They weren't around for very long...{ candyPunk }

You'll need a faster CD drive to play a VCD properly. A 2x drive is too slow.~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit
