Need more details. What exactly are "special" videos? Regardless of the video content, I don't see why this would corrupt your hard drive. How old is your hard drive? What makes you sure these videos are corrupting them?

Those videos aren't corrupting your computer unless you somehow got a virus in the process. Here is what I'd do if I were you.
1) Run a virus scanner.
2) Error check your hard drive Right click your hard drive > properties > tools > error-checking. Check both boxes and restart your computer. It'll take some time to run through but it will let you know if your hard drive is actualy corrupt.
3) Defragment - Same steps as step 3 but click Defragmentation instead of Error-checking
Honestly, the best thing you could do is reformat your computer assuming nothing is corrupt. It's a clean start at life, but you'll lose your videos in the processes of a clean reformat but it'll run like the day you bought it.
If you do all of that and are still not satisfied, buy a SSD. Keep in mind they cost more than a regular HDD. If you are still looking to keep a video collection, use the SSD to boot Windows and keep all your videos on the HDD.

I didn't download them I watched them straight from sites and that's where I think I get then from. I always thought they were dirty cus they were never pepvwd clean
