Interesting labels on rented DVD

Check out these stickers.
First, I guess they don't want you to put it in a microwave:


Then, rewind it when you're done...

Jeez - how many times does a DVD rotate during a film ? That spiral track is going to be one hell of a bugger to rewind !

[hhhhbk]

thats an interesting label

is the heat sensor on the dvd itself
if it turns black some tippex will solve theproblem

if you were to attempt ripping a dvd without first copying the vobs to your hard drive i can see how the disk could get hot approx 6 hours spinning

on a side note
if a rental dvd burns out your drive head does this mean you could make them pay for a new drive

Looks like you need to buy one of these

It's purpose is to keep you from leaving them in a car during the summer. A black car in the 'south' can hit 140 degrees F or higher with the windows shut on a sunny day. The heat can cause warping, and damage the bonds between carbonate layers.

Hmm, you may have to put your DVD player in the freezer while watching movie.

So expect heat labels for dogs and ice cream in the not too distant future...

I saw one rental tape that had a sticker on it that said "If the tape is missing from the box please notify customer service". Think about it :P

Probably not alot of calls on that one...

Then, rewind it when you're done...

Just so everybody knows, the rewind sticker (and likely the other one) is an rfid tag for stores with alarm systems/gates at the front door. I spent many years working in video stores, and you can get alarm tag versions of just about every sticker you can imagine. Most stores buy those stickers by the thousands and their choice was buy all-new stickers or just put rewind tags on the dvd inventory. We never worried about the wierdness because it was obvious that nobody ever read them anyway. After the girl left a brand new movie in the ashtray outside our store because she thought it was our drop box, we pretty much gave up on the public.

Seriously.

Ashtray.

No kidding.
