I can't believe I had this novelty idea years ago. But I never knew how to go about producing them.

I like the comment "Does it rewind CDs too?" haha.. awesome.

Is it compatible with Dual Layer? I don't want only one layer rewound!
-
I was just about to purchase one but I heard it wouldn't work on BluRay discs... so I decided to wait for a 'Next Generation' model.

Its good for renting DVDs, because you need to rewind them before returning them, or they charge you a rewinding fee.
Some days it seems as if all I'm doing is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic -
I like the post about their machine does the rewinding for them. I was also amazed at those that don't get the joke.
-
I read that using rewinders is bad. It's better to let the player rewind them so the lasers don't get magnetized.

As long as the rewinder slows down when it is reaching the end it shouldn't damage the discs.

It would be better if it were USB powered. Like this:

I got mine at the same store that sold me valve stem lube, windshield wiper sharpeners, and a full set of electric air tools.

Rewinding DVDs in your player will wear out the motors and belts prematurely. It really makes me angry when I rent a DVD and it's not rewound to the beginning. "Be Kind, Please Rewind"

Couple of my DVDR disc with full label do not rewind pass mid-point. It is not the disc surface, I checked.
Is there a firmware update for this rewinder ? -
If the disc is dual sided does it in effect fast forward to the end of the other side? This might be a design glitch that wasn't considered.
-
...then each side has to be done separately. Where's your logic, dude?
BTW. the inventor will be laughing all the way to the bank. If properly marketed he's set for life. -
!!!! WARNING !!!! Make sure your DVDs are not magnetized before using! The rewinder just ate my most favorite DVD. I got DVD all over the place. Hope I can get it back on the disc without ruining it.

Most important people
Make sure there is no dust on your DVD before rewinding
Not only can it ruin your disk, but it's even more dangerous than running with scissors!
You have been warned -
Who wants to bet that Blockbuster will buy these for use in their stores?

I love my wife, but once upon a time...
And then there was the time that I told her that the pilot light was out in the microwave...
BTW, she is a nurse, scarey huh?IS IT SUPPOSED TO SMOKE LIKE THAT? -
An absolute necessity for those who want to extend the life of their DVD players and the life of their DVD's ..... if it's good enough for the Bush administration, I have to have one.
The lease of the Sydney Harbour Bridge is due to expire later this year and I have the sold rights to organise the new lease, anyone interested, very cheap.
