Choppy sound and picture when I play DVD

When I play a DVD, the picture kind of goes frame by frame and the sound does the same. I have flashed the firmware to the latest version, and set IDE Controller to DMA if available. I am using Windows XP service pack 2, 2 gigs of ram, 4Ghz Intel CPU, ATI Radeon X1600 Pro 512 MB PCI Express Video Card. This is the second DVD burner that this happend to. I could not fix the old one so I bought a new one and it worked fine for about 3 months then it started with this one. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I want to play a flash drive with a movie with sound on it. I can't change from internal memory to usb flash drive. Can you help me?

I think I follow what your asking, so I'll do my best.
It reads that you want to play a movie you have on a flash drive through a digital picture frame.
Have you tried copying the flash drive to the internal storage and them playing the movie?
I think the biggest part of the problem is that the picture frames aren't capable of playing full movies, just slide shows. And any sound it has is on a separate section; not truly "linked" like a DVD or computer is. Picture frames are pretty much one trick ponies.

I recently updated to windows 7....now my video on youtube as well as my own dvd's is choppy. The melody played on start-up is choppy as well as any other sound played on it.

Sound like a performance problem. Did you try updating your video and sound drivers?
You should also see if the Adobe Flash Player is properly installed as that is used for Youtube playback.

When I play a movie the picture and sound gets "choppy" even with NEW dvds

You can try using another media player.If that does'nt work ,your DVD drive may be bad or need cleaning.Sometimes a bad ram chip can cause the video to mess up.Try playing a movie directly from your HDD downloaded from a website and see if its choppy if its not then its your DVD drive.If it is still choppy it could be the media player your using or it does'nt have enough ram memory/virtual memory.If you have XP change your virtual memory settings and the refresh rate in task manager.(Bring up task manager,go to view tab then update speed to HIGH).

Choppy sound and video on laptop

Unfortunately your video card memory is probably lacking. And/or your settings are set too high for your processor to handle. Right click on your desktop, goto properties, goto settings, and select for best perfomance then apply.

CD's play simple audio files. DVD's and games play large video files and large audio files that are choppy on older systems. you may need to upgrade your memory. Make sure you delete all you dont use, run disk cleanup. REstart. Run, disk defrag, Restart.

A good test is goto : www.belarc.com or belarcadvisor.com

They will tell you if yoursystem is uptodate.

Good luck!

You may just be running a older processor?

Let me konw,
Mark

Pioneer dvd rw dvr 111d isn't burning properly I have a Pioneer dvd rw dvr 111d that's not working right. I use roxio easy cd/dvd creator 6 for burning movies. It only burns them only about 1.2x-1.5x and suppose to burn up to 16x. I've been using roxio with this burner for a long time with no problem. A month or so I had a problem with the sound(soundcard) and couldn't fix it so ended up reinstalling Windows XP. That fit the sound problem. I installed Roxio and it work for a time or two. Then one time I tried disc copier in Roxio it said no supported recorder was found. If this keeps happening to reinstall Roxio. Which I have Several times and a few times it would come up with that message and would work properly. Then I would shut down cpu and I rstart it and use Roxio it would come up with the no supported recorder message. Also when I start itunes it pops up a message saying the registry setting used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cd and dvd are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other cd burning software. Please reinstall itunes. I install itunes right before I started having this problem, I think. I haven't tried to reinstall itunes yet because I hate to lose my data. Is there a way you can save the data and uninstall and reinstall itunes? Does anyone know if itunes has anything to do with my dvd burning problems? Thanks
