DivX on PS2 - long term damage for the laser?

Das hast Du auch schon im Gametop.de Forum gefragt.
Es geht immer auf die Lebensdauer eines Lasers, wenn er gerade in Betrieb ist.
Es spielt aber keine Rolle, welche Daten von der Disk kommen.
Es ist völlig wurscht, ob von Spiel, Film oder sonst was.
Wenn man seinen Laser schon will, sollte man Spiele nur von Festplatte und Filme nur vom USB Stick schauen.

Nimm es mir nicht übel, aber das ist wirklich eine "dump question".
Ich glaub ich brauch auch Aspirin

Hi,

i just would like to know if the PS2 can take (long term) damage (especially the laser) if you watch Divx-movies (movies burned on a cd-r)?
Can the permanently streaming from cd damage the PS2-laser in any way?
Is there any difference at all by playing a game on cd-r or watching a movie on cd-r?
I'm a little afraid to destroy my PS2 by using the SMS-player...
Like i said, i would like to watch the DivX-movie burned on a cd-r, not from HDD or usb-stick!
Sorry for such a dumb question, but i just want to be sure about it...

The PS2 in default isn't very good with CD's,I recommending you to use DVD's rather than CD's because in CD mode the disk spins faster.

Playing or watching it's almost the same...actually while playing games the PS2 does more work(the laser moves almost non stop and he's reading different files and while your watching a movie he reads only one file and the laser is moving really slow only in one direction)

And I recommend Samba aka Windows Share

And if not Samba, try using a USB memory stick. It's access speed is not as fast as over the network but for lower rate DivX it's perfectly fine.
