    How easy isit for sectors to damage a hard drive?
    What also causes it?

    So far the things i know to damage movie playback would be.

    Bad Fragments - Which can be sorted by defragging, right??
    Codecs - Which can just be uninstalled.
    Drive over heating - Just buy loads of cooling.
    Virus maybe.
    Slow computer speed to cause jumpy playback.

    Is there anything else?

    Also is there anything else that could permanantly make a movies playback different from its original state?

    Thanks very much.

    as far as i know data is data. it might seem worse because your drive would constantly be working...which means it's heating up. heat is our enemy. plus moving parts get old after time.
