Hey guys, I want to get some explanation about the issue mentioned in the topic title. I read on all those wii-modchip forums and topicboards that bad burned media (cheapass dvd-r for example) will reduce the life of the lens within the Wii. But can somebody explain me how this is possible,
I read that bad media have a low quality reflection from the laser inside the dvd player, which makes it harder for the lens to read the reflection (so that's the reason Nintendo pressed their dual layer disks by using gold with reflects more than the usual silver).To in that sense, I understand that the lens had a harder time reading the signals, but how in earth can this affect the lifetime?
