Ok so the title explains it all. psxMC, the japanese program to rip and view psx movies and sounds is dangerous to your CD-Rom driver if it's 44x and higher.
Here's what happened to me:
1) I show the little program to my brother to show him what it can do, we watch some Tekken 3 movies on the rented version we have. So far, everything works fine. Sometimes the CD-rom seems to overrun, but a quick open and close fix it.
2) I decide to rip a movie from the game (Gon's ending to be exact). Everything during the rip works fine, it goes well and everything. Altough the conversion time seems a bit fast (4 minutes for highest quality avi conversion).
3) After the rip the CD-rom starts to overrun again, I lean down to open the drive as usual but before I even touch the eject button, the Tekken CD literally explodes in the cd rom driver. We open it up quickly and the CD is a total loss.
Hmm... So I guess that's kind of sad. That program promised so much but it blows up the CD in your CD-Rom Drive. Oh wow, I got lots of money to lose at this time of the year. By the way, my driver is Atapi 56x CD-Rom. However, I heard that 56x can't go over a 36x limit due to its power. Could be true seeing how the CD just exploded because of the CD-Rom speed. Man, if something like this happened to someone else, or if you have a 50x CD-Rom and plan to get a PSX ripper, just don't do it. The same thing will most likely happen to you.
