207077 2004-01-13 04:29:00 I've got a problem in playing back DVD on my PC using WinDVD 5. It's unable to play back smoothly (both video and audio) meaning that it generates a halting effect while playing back - both the video and sound halts for a second or so after every minute (approx) of 'smooth' playing.

I have no problem in playing back with Windows Media player, however.

It's an old Pioneer player. OS - XP Pro.

207078 2004-01-13 04:36:00 Its a long shot, but here goes: what sound card do you have?

I have just figured my problem out that was similar. I just recently bought the Audigy 2 ZS pro, and was playing my DVDs with Power DVD through this Creative software, and this was what was causing my trouble...

207079 2004-01-13 05:10:00 try also seeing if there are any patches available. i seem to remember updating my powerDVD at some stage.. nadius (3249)
207080 2004-01-13 05:13:00 whops, ignore me! misread the software you're using. although updating is still relevant.

actually, i've heard of this problem with WinDVD, the user switched to PowerDVD and it was fine.

207081 2004-01-13 10:55:00 Hi nadius

I downloaded the Trial version of PowerDVD with the latest patch but still doesn't solve the problem.

Maybe I should just stay with Windows' Media Player.

207082 2004-01-13 20:36:00 If it works with Windows Media Player - then just use it. It's just a DVD. somebody (208)
