Help! DVDs are playing choppy!
My DVD player will not play DVD correctly. They are all choppy like it's messing up digitally. My computer will still play games fine, but not DVDs. Please help!

search for pushdma2.exe at the top of this page. download and install it and make sure to run the file not just extracting it. then reboot. post back here if it works.- Actually, I'm having the same problem with my laptop.
I bought an inspiron 1505 about 2 months ago. I didn't notice the problem at first (although it could have been there), but when I play DVDs using media direct, the picture skips around at times. The videos are watchable, but it is very annoying. The sound sometimes pauses, also as if it were skipping.
To make matters worse, my window's media player (the newest version) does a similar thing, but instead the audio skips all over and the video has minor pauses.
I really don't know what to do, so if anyone has some advice, I'd appreciate it. I already checked to see if the device was set to dma mode and it was. - Kevuda and N1Kolas,
Assuming you have checked that the drive is set for DMA mode, it is possible that too many programs
are running in the background. As a troubleshooting aid, use the free program EndItAll to close the
background programs to see if the problem goes away. You will find the free version of EndItAll with
an internet search. - I got 1gb of memory. When my M1210 came, I uninstalled the trial versions of MSOffice2003, MSPlus!, Spyware and other trial versions that came with it.I installed DVDFab and DVD decrypters, Nero 6 MSOffice2003, iTunes and IE7I don't know at what point of my uninstallation / installation my DVD playback became choppy. Firstly, my Dell Media Direct stopped working (I download Media Direct Repair Utility followed instruction to the letter and no luck), My Roxio acted weird (re-installed it and seems to work fine)I have had two Dells before with WinDVD and Nero Showtime never had problem with playback.
