DVD-Rs won't damage your laser if they are expensive branded DVD-Rs.

Let me explain.

The DVD spec says reflectivity of the DVD must be in the range 45% to 65%. Typically DVD-Rs have reflectivity in the range 15% to 40% - rather lower. So if the DVD-R is poorly burned,then the laser will have to work harder on re-reads. Now that doesn't amount to a serious overload unless you play DVD-Rs all day.

My advice is at your risk, of course.
