    VHS Rewinders were for when you had to rapid fire play VHSes to keep people entertained. The idea was that they rewound your VHS tapes while you put the next one in, instead of the normal practice of hitting rewind at the end of the movie.
    That said: almost every VHS rewinder was over-torqued and had a reputation for ruining older and cheaper VHS tapes, so many people did not like to use them

    For some context on VHS rewinders, on a VCR to rewind it took 10-15 minutes for a 2 hour movie, making rewinding a pain in the ass and why the extra charge if you didn’t rewind rented movies. A VHS rewinder on the other hand could rewind the VHS tape in 4-5 minutes while the next VHS tape was in the VCR already playing.

      It also saved wear and tear on your VHS player. If you watched a lot of tapes, all that rewinding would add up.

      VHS rewinders existed primarily to save the motor on your VCR

      That's wild, I lived well and fully within the VHS era and I really just thought that a rewinder was to save the time of slow VCRs or wasting the time of the next person that wanted to use the VCR. I had no idea it had to do with actual wear and tear on the unit.

    Hey! I'm a new subscriber to your channel. I'm a great cinema/pop culture buff and also interested in retro tech/physical media. Your videos are quite enjoyable. Keep up the great work!

    Yes, more like you could rewind a tape without taking up the entire VCR. You couldn't watch another movie or record anything off the tv. Keep in mind rewinding a 2 hr video would take around about 20min. VHS rewinders could rewind faster too.

    My first experience with the DVD rewinder was on an old Blockland map. It had like a hallway full of memes and funny pictures, which included picture of a DVD rewinder. I wonder if anyone else remembers that.
