hi i've been reading the forum and have been creating svcds for about 6 months. everytime i had a question i would search the forum and find answers that would work. however this time i havent been able to find the answers so i finally became a member.

I just got a hp pavilion n5495 for christmas which has a p3, 1.06ghz, 30 gig drive and 512 memory with a cdrw/dvd combo drive.

unfortunately, it wont play any of my svcds...5 mins into the svcd it jittering and pausing. my svcds play fine on my samsung s221 standalone but doesnt play on my laptop.

one of the main reasons that i got the laptop was to play my svcds while im travelling...needless to say im quite frustrated. any help on why and how I can get them to play on my laptop would be much appreciated.

I tried playing the svcds with windvd and elecard svcd player. let me know if you need anymore info....

thanks....
