Hello,
I am wanting to convert a video on my laptop for playback on my palm. I don't have a problem encoding the video, but am worried about doing damage to my laptop since it is so processor intensive.

Thank you,
Dave

That won't be a problem. As long as you keep your system well ventilated and use it as directed you should be OK.

I encode all the time. It's playing games that burn laptops up. Stresses the gpu and cpu...

yep, no harm. It will heat up a bit from the load, but todays modern cpu's have protection from overheating. They just throttle back with no damage done

You will be fine
