read 3-inch dvd


I was wondering if anyone knows if i can just insert this 3 inch dvd into my dvd burner and and it will be able to see it ? I do not want to destroy the burner by just experimenting with it if at all possible. Ther is a smaller insert ring on the inside of my burner tray anyone know if this is for the smaller dvd/cds ?

Thansk for your help in advance

Should work just fine...the smaller disks are usually promo things, but the inner-ring is the place to put it.
