Oh My god!!!! dont do it on sony models,,,,,,,,
they store the data of the film, then when your asleep, the dvd player will ring the old bill and report you,!!
if the old bill dont get ther within 5 mins, the player will go into self destruct mode, and release half a megaton of nuclear blast, the resulting emp pulse will fry all the dvd players electronics, making it impossible to play copyied? dvd in future
you have been warned you naughty boy!!!

I cannot see anyway of a copied DVD damaging your player, not unless the DVD itself, as in the media, has something on it that will scratch or damage the lense or mechanism.

It's true - it does....it's all to do with the lasers that Sony put in their machines. You see, the DVD-R's you buy in the shops have a dye sublimation layer with a very sensitive reaction to the 1450nm laser source used in the latest Sony equipment.
This causes a severe reaction in the plastic, which can melt it, especially on long films like Titanic - the plastic can often melt and spurt down into the sensitive drive mechanism. This can cause great problems in the shaft, which can only be rectified by sensitive examination by a female Sony technician.
I read this in the swedish home video mag, Lirpa Soolf Monthly - can't remember which issue it was in, but it was around spring this year.

Think it's something to do with the lazer having more trouble or having to try harder to read the dvd+/- R's but I could be wrong. I know a few PS2's have gone legs in the air because of this.

Does anyone remember the page in the manual for the BBC Micro in the assembly language section which had a command which was NEVER to be typed in as it could damage the computer......

I think all your questions will be answered here:

Pretty intense stuff to the un-educated. But once you understand how they work, you may then apreciate why and how they go wrong
Unfortunately, it's mostly based on CD and Laser disc players. But principally, they should be the same.

Apparently it affects the laser alignment and in time,will stop you playing original dvd's.
On Sony models it shows up as the C1300 fault.
