sofortige (automatische) Rückspulung


Explanation:
"... DVD's werden automatisch zurückgespult."

Another way of saying the same thing but somewhat longer is: "... DVD's werden automatisch in die Startposition zurückversetzt".

Anstatt Videokassetten zurueckspulen zu muessen, DVDs sind sofort zurueckgespult.


Explanation:
If the tape is a videotape then you usually say videokassette = videotape if another tape is meant only = Kasette.
A different translation (interpretation) is:

DVDs muessen nicht, wie Videokassetten, zurueckgespult werden.

That means: DVDs don't have to be revinded unlike tapes.
That sounds better in German (at least to me as a native). The other translation is also good if you would like to express exactly what you wanted to have translated.
