Choppy DVD

[Maxfreak]

I have an ATI Radeon 64 MB DDR graphics board and a T-bird 1.4ghz processor. I thought this would be ample processing to play back DVD's however after installing my Toshiba 16x DVD drive I still get a choppy movie on playback. Do I "need" a decoder card or maybe there is a work around that I am missing. Thanks

As was said in the other forum, enable DMA transfer mode on your DVD-Drive. That should be all you need to do.

Yes, enable DMA transfers on that drive, and it should work fine.

I'm running DVD's fine on a Celeron 633 with intel graphics, so yours should be more than fine.

and upgrade to PowerDVD 3.0 if you're using a different version.... well worth the $10 or so cost...
