Jumpy DVD Video

[anarchy_daemon]

I just got a dvd rom for my comp and
when i setup all the software (Win DVD 2000)
and play a dvd it plays for a while then stops then plays again then stops and so on
i know it's not the movie i just opened it
the specs are well above range frok what i can tell:
850 duron
396 mb pc133
32mb 64bit nvida tnt 2 card
dvd 2x
could the drive speed be it cause the lady at the store said 2x is fine for movies is this true
i never dealt with dvd before :d

i have a 2X they are very slow, regardless if ur watching movies or not, u must at least have a 6X for smooth playback. I got my 2X when PC DVD was 1st released

so it's the drive
wait now i need a new drive
oh well

anarchy_daemon, have you enabled DMA for the "brand new" 2X DVD-ROM? :0

[anarchy_daemon]

Yes I enabled DMA
that helped a little but it was still choppy
but i took it back to the sotre which sold it to me
and made them(dont ask) exchange it
for a 16x one
now all i need is the dam drivers for the new one
