Converting DVD to CD to work on MKIII
 

Is it possible to convert a DVD navigation which works on MKIV to CD in order to work on MKIII system.
Appreciated your feedback ;)

Assuming you have a HIGH and not a PROFESSIONAL DVD, the biggest problem you are going to have is to reduce the content of the DVD sufficiently so that it fits on a 650MB CD. If the map database itself is larger than this, then you have no chance.

Navigation system it gave Not Correct CD.
I think there maybe a small file or command make it compatible only with MKIV. or maybe it is simpler.

Any ideas.

Yes, the only issue is the size.

Sorry as reply was not complete

The DVD size is only 50MB.

I managed to burin it on a CD in order to use it on MKIII but it gave the following message:
Not Correct CD in Navigation
Is the database fine same for MKIII & MKIV system.
I think there maybe a small file or command make it compatible only with MKIV. or maybe it is simpler.

Your advise highly appreciated

Hmmm... database varies greatly.
The Mk3 and the Mk4 can read the carindb file. I don't know what DVD you have, I assumed your DVD has the carindb map database file.
The Mk3 cannot read some of the newer map database formats used in the Mk4
The Mk3 cannot read the external POIs in the TPD directory
The CD TOC has to be labelled correctly for the CD to be recognised, compare with the Mk3 map CD

It will not work anyway. Mk2/3 software assume DB sector size is 2048 bytes, but in modern CD/DVD maps DB sector size set to 512 bytes.

Below are contents of some of files of new DVD and the 2004 DVD which i manged to have it work on MKIII it may help:
