in powerdvd its dvd and mediaplayer is just video in general, could I have a buffer problem?

From files on your comp or playing from a dvd, vcd etc... ?

in powerdvd its dvd cds, but with mediaplayer its any type of video, sounds is fine but video is stuttery.

Hi andybno1,

Maybe it's your CPU ie, too slow. I had studder problems w/ a slow 233MHz
pc and ATI xpert 128 graphics card. Use to studder like crazy when I put
in the DVD movie, Alien "Resurection" (a rental)

But, have you checked your DMA, to see if it's [x] is checked ??
You'll find this under device manager (don't know what it's undre in XP)
That might be your problem.

Good luck,
