n0fear88,

If you do decide to rewind your DVDs, I suggest buying a separate "DVD rewinder" so you don't wear out your DVD player's laser.

My DVD collection automatically rewinds itself immediately after I finish watching them.

I have a new service that will properly align the bits on a DVD too.

You can't let those bits get out of alignment - after all, when they spin that fast they tend to drift.

Nice

They probably also made some people believe that if you spin your dvd on your finger, you can see watch the movie on the disc.

My favorite part of this:

"Do NOT be fooled by cheap imitations like, "99 cent / 30 second DVD rewind," their service is unreliable and known to damage DVDs."

I feel bad for the poor saps that buy it but at the same time they deserve it if they are that dumb!

This reminds me of the BB employee who swayed a buyer from buying a DVD Burner for their PC because of the shards of plastic that fly off the DVD during the burning process, which can make the PC unstable.

The fact that the web site is called "Uncool Central" leads me to assume this is a gag.

Do they give people your money back after they don't deliver the software that can "rewind" a DVD?

Otherwise, it's not a gag - it's FRAUD. Let's hope the Uncool people don't serve prison time for their laughs.

A word of warning -- their software does not work on VCDs. Take it from someone who learned the hard way.
