Does DVDXCOPY do harm to your DVD drive? any bad experenice?

[Beautiful Alone]

I backup my Lord of the ring:TWO TOWERS using DVDXCOPY Xpress, the ripping took around an hour nonstop on my dvd drive, i was amazed that the compress outcome would look that good on a single DVD-R, it looked exactly like the original. Anyways, after the ripping, i've insert a movie into my DVD drive, it makes a weird cracking noise for a few sec and it stoped, now i'm still unsured if i still want to use Xpress?

perhaps it is too late...your drive may have overheated and died

how many dvds have you backed up with the pioneer? since you were so surprise with the quality of the backup i assume you have not backed up many, and therefore the drive is relatively new, therefore returnable for refund/replacement? good luck.

I did not backup the movie with my Pioneer DVD-RW. I backed it up with my DVD-drive.

use your imagination...

i wasn't the one using the drive when it failed...

Does it shorten the life span or cause it to disfuntion if you use the DVD-drive for alotta ripping?

of course it does...every piece of mechanical electronics comes with an estimated MTBF (mean time before failure) in their respective white papers...
