Hi,
I'm working on a computer that is having some problems with DVD Playback. The DVD plays fine, but only when sub titles are disabled. I need subtitles on as it is a sing along DVD.
This is a retail DVD that was bought in a store.
DMA Mode is enabled, 80 conducter IDE cable connected on the secondary IDE port. This is the only drive connected on this cable.
The model of the DVD drive is a LiteOn sohc-5232k DVD/CD-RW combo drive.
Hardware acceleration is disabled.
The computer is a Windows XP Service Pack 2, 256 MB Memory, 64 Megabyte AGP video card with a 2.6 GHZ Celeron processor.
I've tried the DVD in my Macintosh and it plays just fine with sub titles turned on.
I tried to update the Firmware for the drive but it told me the firmware that was already installed was the most recent. I updated anyway, and it didn't help.
I've also shut down every program (such as virus scan) that I can find to make sure that something wasn't hogging resources.
-------------
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I have tried playing another movie DVD (Bruce Almighty) and turned subt titles on and it did just fine. Smooth as can be. Also, I have tried PowerDVD and Windows Media Player. They both stutter and pause....its like it has to "think" about it before it generates the sub titles.
-----------
If anyone could give me any info on what to try I would appreciate it as I don't know where to go from here.
Thanks
Eric
