DVD Rewinder

Guest
Got in a pack of new clip leads. I can do alot of things with clip leads. They are a bench staple like the ends off of components, paper clips, various glues and potions.

OK, fairly nice set of leads.

THEY CAME IN AN ANTI STATIC BAG !

I want to call that company and ask if they have any DVD rewinders in stock.

I'm forever stepping on the ones that fall off the bench unnoticed, and they flatten almost completely (and I'm not overweight). Years ago, clip leads were heavy stamped steel or copper and much more durable. If you ever run across a source for these let me know.

How fast is the DVD rewinder?

DVD rewinders are rare. Write only memory is rare too, but not rare
enough. I have come across write only memory DVDs and that's what I
use my DVD rewinder for.

WOM is not that rare - the 25120 was designed by Signetics engineer John
G 'Jack' Curtis back in the early 70s and included in their catalog:

Ah, the background story to the WOM is here:

I have a camcorder that uses standard beta cassetes.

to specify a WOM in a design:

Anti-static bags don't work. I put one of my radio designs inside
such a bag and all I heard out of the speaker was the same old static.

I like the DVD rewinder, but can't you just insert the CD upside-down
and play it again to rewind it?

You really need anti-static bags for protecting clip leads.
Atmospheric electricity increases at the rate of about 30 volts/ft[1].
If you're 6ft tall, there should be 180 volts between your head and
your toes. If you bridge this voltage with one of your new clip
leads, it will surely create a spark. With the typical low quality of
Chinese clip leads, that would probably blow the wire as if it were a
fuse.


[1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_electricity>
"...the potential, aka 'voltage', increases with altitude at about
30 volts per foot (100 V/m)..."

I think that voids the warranty on Sonys and a couple of other brands.

You actually got that "Lightscribe" thing
to work?? Stuck a disk in my tower,
configured the label the way I wanted
it, hit "OK", waited a half a friggin HOUR,
no status on the screen, no sounds from
the CD/DVD disc DRIVE, eject - blank label.
Never bothered with it again.

Seems to be some smart people here. I need to learn how to empty the /dev/
null device.

I have lots of scripts that that write to it and I suspect it needs
emptied.

Any help?

Not at all, actually. Just buy a cheap USB memory stick from Ebay.
Fill it up with data and then try to read it back. You will notice
that most of its rated capacity is write-only.

Some types of anti static bag defeat the security tag detectors in shop
doorways.

The motivation behind making them so readily available is anyone's guess.

I only tried it once and the result was not worthwhile.

Yesterday I had to go through a metal detector to get into the court
house. Even had to remove my belt so the buckle would not set it off.

Got me to thinking that iron and steel effect radio tuned circuits one
way and brass and maybe some other materials affect it the other way.

Could someone have say a knife with a steel blade and an matching amount
of brass go through the detector with out setting it off ?

Many things I buy from Farnell now comes in anti static bags, regardless of
the vulnerability of such goods to static.

I suspect the cost of this packaging is less than the cost of the litigation
of not providing goods in this packaging, and then having to deal with
spurious/bogus claims of static damage.
