Is the SVCD Header Trick Safe?

[Nuke1096]

Tried the header trick and it works like a charm. No problems at all. But what I am concerned about is whether or its safe to continiously use the trick on my set top player? Is there a danger of damaging the dvd player at all? Has anyone used the trick a lot over a long period of time?

Specs:

DVD - Toshiba 4800
Burner - Plextor 48x
Software - Nero 5.5
Media - Imation

i don't think so. i would assume its the same as playing a regular disc.

I don't think playing any type of disk will harm a DVD player, just my opinion though. I did read a different opinion from statstorm, here's a link.

My DVD player exploded when I put a SVCD using the header trick in, took out 2 square blocks.

J/K it shouldnt cause any problems for the DVD player
