I'm currently converting a couple of hundred movies to MP4 format. The fan in the computer is running full speed doing this, so just wondering if it'll damage the computer having this program running for 2 weeks converting these files?

I just have a 2018 MacBook Air which is designed for portability over power, so that is why it's going to take a while.
 
It may hurt your fan, but I've never had a fan go out on me and I have mine running at 4,500 RPM daily.
