    It's the technological equivalence of a "magic elixir"!

    HAH!

    I was wondering when someone would come up with a foolish device like this! Sure, take your expertly mastered DVD, compress it down to fit and play on your substandard PC, then plug this device in to "magically restore" what was lost.

    DUH

    If you're too lazy to find the original DVD then suffer...

    But what does it do? I still don't get it. Information lost to compression can't be recovered (else it would be part of the decompression algorithm), so...?

    Or does it not actually do anything? That would be an amusing joke but not to the people who buy it.
