Problem Playing Dvds
Hey all, a few days ago out of the blue, my cpu seems to have lost the ability to play dvd or dvd files at full screen resolution without being choppy as shit. I havent done anything or installed anything drastic in the past few days so I cant explain it. It can play other video files fine, but just not dvds via the drive or dvd files off the harddrive.
Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated
Other than getting a new cpu, Im workin on that, hah.

Re: Problem Playing Dvds
Since it can play other files fine, I would uninstall your software DVD player (powerDVD, winDVD...) that installed the mpeg2 codec. Then reinstall it.
Try VLC. It doesn't use installed codecs but its own code and is usually much faster

Re: Problem Playing Dvds
If the playing is choppy, check which programs are running by CTRL + ALT + DEL and check the processes. Something may be running that takes up a lot of system memory.
