Cyberlink Power DVD - Jumpy Video
Hello,
All of the sudden, I notice that when I watch a DVD with Power DVD (v4.0) that every 40 seconds or so, the video jumps, seemingly to have to catch up with real time, if that makes any sense...I have no idea what I might have done - I haven't installed any programs with the exception of the Linksys WMA11B media adapter, which installs the DOT NET framework piece. Maybe that is what's causing this? I mean, I practically have the machine booting clean (with as little crap running in the background as possible) and the video is still not as it used to be...smooth that is. My system is ample enough - Win XP Home SP2 (I had the same problem before SP2, too..in fact I hoped that SP2 would have solved it), 1.8mhz P4 w/512mg memory. I upgraded to Power DVD 5.1 and the results are the same...wondering if anyone else has run into this and what they might have done to solve it. Thanks very much for any insight. JBL |

Where have you herd this before?
Sounds like a DVD player problem. Mechanical or driver oriented. Have you tried to play back DVD's with any other software player? If problems exist with another player it could point to your DVD drive as the culprit.

Thanks for the reply, but since I left this message, I have found the
culprit. When I disabled Webroot's spyware software from running real time, the problem went away. Thank you. "Shumandu" wrote in message ... Where have you herd this before?

Glad you solved your problem.
It is always a good idea to disconnect from the internet and stop as many background programs as possible when working with video. Video uses a lot of system resources. I didn't make this suggestion earlier because you indicated you only installed one program since the problem occured. I would have assumed it was woking with your spyware program earlier.
