Is this a good DVD rewinder? (1 Viewer)

[MarkHastings]

But I would assume that the motor wears out quicker due to the extra work of rewinding the extra 96 lines of resloution in PAL over NTSC.

No, because the Helium that's pressed out of the sound tracks by the tight rewind, effectively protects the moving parts.

Unless it rewinds in OAR, NO SALE!

I once bought a DVD rewinder from a guy in a white van.

Biggest mistake I ever made...

 

[Mike Frezon]

Huh. That's funny...becasuse I bought my DVD Rewinder from a guy in a white van, too...and I couldn't be happier. It does exactly what was promised...and was a great deal!

The guy said something about getting one too many in a shipment...

I've heard that entering a special code into a R2 rewinder can make it multiregion. Is there a website that gives a list of these codes?

 

[Seth=L]

Bose, eww.

And don't knock the "white van", they will come for you.

Well, I did pay a small fortune for it ($200), but it was worth it.

 

[MarkHastings]

Was it made from "patented space age technology"; built by NASA and the same material that was used on the space shuttle???


If so, I assume you can't use it in high winds??

 

[Rommel_L]

fixed...

Hmmmm... it seems to work nicely with DVD-ROMs carrying PC programs, but those with Mac programs seem a little wonky. Anyone have any links to any nifty shareware that'll make this great gadget fully Mac compatible?

 

[MarkHastings]

Yee, look at the iRewind device. It works great with Macs.

Mine keeps sticking when trying to rewind porn DVD's :frowning:

Someone told me that if you throw a DVD like a frisbee and get the spin just right it actually rewinds the disc. I haven't tried it myself so can't vouch for it.

Reading through this thread, the problem with using a vacuum cleaner, even a Dyson, to pick up the bits is that while they will hold the wider 0s, the 1s are so thin they will go right through the bags and filters. And have you ever gotten a 1 stuck in your foot accidentally? They are sharp and painful and nearly impossible to remove with even the best tweezers.

Do not do that with a dog at your side, trust me.

 

[Mark Giles]

Have any of you ever tried to rewind a VCD with one of these? If not, try it and come back to share your experiences.

(**just a warning, Use an old disc with information thats not important!! Dont expect to retreive data off of the CD again!!**)




Oh, and a Quick question.

Does anyone know where to get the adapters to properly rewind the mini Dvds? Although I can do it by hand in just under 3 hours, I could be doing something else.

 

[MarkHastings]

Is it gay or straight porn? I've heard that you need a universal player to rewind gay porn because the regular rewinders only rewind one way.

 

[Mark Giles]

I agree Dave. My dog was barking movie quotes for weeks.
