Jumping Picture/Crap Sound

[Doc Skin]

Can anyone help pleez. I'm using PowerDVD 2.55 on my laptop which has an AMD 333MHz processor, plenty of RAM and a LG DVD Rom drive. I'm having problems viewing a svcd, which tends to be jumpy and the sound is unsynchronised. I loaded Kristal Vision 3.11 CODEC, but this hasn't helped. Any suggestions! BTW: I don't have any problems playing standard DVD's.

Try copying the avseq001.mpg file onto your hard drive and playing it from there. If that plays ok then the problem is your CD/DVD drive is not fast enough to play this SVCD.

Reason is DVD's and CD's are a different technology with DVD's having a much higher data density than CD's hence they do not need to spin as fast in order for the data to be read quickly. ( I think 1 speed DVD is about the same as 12 speed CD)

Tried that a while back, and it does play slightly better, but it's still pretty crap. Thanks for the reply.
