    Hello there rippers!
    I just read at a Swedish forum, a person writes that ripping one movie a day will kill your DVD in 1 to 2 months!
    Is this really true?

    I mean, why would it kill your DVD? Is it wearing out the hardware ripping a movie???

    Well my dvd drive just broke after 2 yrs of solid ripping . I'v probaly ripped close to 1000 movies with it, funny thing is i think a firmware upgrade had a lot to do with it.

    Phhuuu! Thanks Ripper, now I can go to work and don't have to be worried about this no more! Since my DVD's 2 month birthday is coming up... And since I've ripped 1 movie a day... Well you probably get the point why I'm worried.
    Thanks again

    they probably mean if you rip direct from the drive , eg not copy to your hard disk. In this case drive is kept going for length of encode ..... you know 8hours ++ also it will tend to spin down and up again.
    not a good thing for your drive
