Re: DVD Audio is Choppy

I have a new computer bought this summer. It has 512 MB of

performs well, except in one area. When I play a DVD or CD
using the
DVD-ROM drive, my audio playback is choppy. However, if I
copy the
CD, or if I download a movie, and play it directly from the
computer,
my audio is just fine. I really want to watch my DVDs but
since the
audio is choppy, I usually don't. How do I fix this problem?
What
can I do? Thank you so much!

Having read the thread, I understand that both you and Tenille
are experiencing the same problem?
Neither of you can play a/v from your optical drive, but both of
you can play a/v from your HDD, is that correct?

As a confirmation, rip the undamaged, commercially pressed DVD
you're having problems with to the HDD and play from there. If
the very same files play properly from your HDD and do not do
from your optical drive, there is only one conclusion which
leaps to mind.

If, on another hand, you're only having problems playing discs
which you have burnt yourselves, then the question of media
compatibility arises. In this case, check your optical drive
manufacturers' recommended media lists against that which you've
chosen to use, or the media manufacturers' lists vs. your
drives. While media quality can be an issue, it is unlikely to
arise in every piece of compatible media.

Do not compare a DVD playing "OK" in your standalone to the DVD
playing in your PC, as the error recovery methods differ between
them.
