Smoother Playback with Radeon 9000Pro

[sneglen]

I have a Radeon 9000pro card and I am using it to play DVD's on my TV... But it doesn't seem to give me a smooth playback it aint to choppy but sometimes it stop for 1/6 of a second or so, and then hurry on and continues. it does this mayby 30 times in a 2 hour movie

I used to have a Geforce 2 card and it was the same. can anyone help me get a smoother playback

I'm haved Both WinDVD and PowerDVD but both gives the same result.

Check that you have DMA enabled for your drives. In addition, enable Hardware Acceleration for DVD in the player software option.

I have already done that and it runs smoothly on my PC screen but not on the TV and I'm not even using dual screen display (or what its called) I'm ONLY sending to my TV

Try this:

Open the Control Panel
Select System Properties
Click on the Performance tab
Click on the File System radio button
Click on the CD-ROM (Yes, CD-ROM) tab
Set slider to "Large" and "Optimize access pattern" to "Quad speed or higher"
Click on Apply and then on OK
Exit the Control Panel
(Cold) Reboot your system

Let us know of your success ;>}

First of all sorry for the late repley (christmas and all) but all that is on and it is the same.

I'm looking for the same smoothness you get on a Standalone DVD player. But that might not be possible??? I am wondering if it could be my HD its only 5400RPM's???
