I don’t know about rewind. As a child of the 90’s, you lay that sticky label on there, let your older sibling press the freshly burned disc onto it, and bam, you have a homemade mix CD before Lars can shut down Napster.

As a Metallica fan, I do repent my Napster days, though.

Of course it’s a scam. You can easily rewind DVDS in your DVD player. You don’t need a separate device.

I always used a pen in the hole and turning it backwards by hand, also works.

Reminded me of the scratch removal services some game stores offered

Those are real though, and do work, as long as the scratches are not deep

Those were legit, though, you can resurface optical media to allow it to be read again

Yup. The data was encoded on the back of the plastic disc. So long as the “label” surface wasn’t scratched you can resurface the bottom.

It was more common for commercial discs and some consumer discs to have the data layer sandwiched between the bottom surface and label layer, especially later in cd/dvd’s heyday, to prevent tiny scratches on the label or sharpie marks from destroying bits in the data layer.
