Vista - WMP 11 in Vista DVD Playback is jumpy

Hi All,

I installed Vista Home Premium on my Toshiba Saellite P100-351 Notebook.
Everything is running fine, except that Media Player does not playback DVD's
correctly. The Video is extremely jerky. Strange enough, the built in Media
Center plays back fine as does Intervideo WinDVD. But since I prefer Media
Player, I would lie to get this resolved.

I have already verified that my Controller Port is set to DMA. This Issue
seems to only affect Media Player 11.

Any Ideas?

I'm having this problem too.
Normal videos on my computer play fine in WMP, it just appears to be DVD's.
The picture is really jumpy, I can't seem to fix it.

Could be the drive, what do you mean by normal videos? On the HDD or
burned to DVD as data disc? Remember the DVD drive has to keep up with
with a fatter data stream on DVDs.

In my case, it plays fine on my computer as an avi file. When I burn it as a
DVD to either my internal drive, or an external drive, it is jumpy. Didn't
have this problem working with windows XP

So playing a file back on both DVD drives results in choppy play?

External USB drive? and internal drive if I understand right.

yeah it really is just dvds. both drives have choppy play.
the sound seems fine. it's just the video that isn't.

And in my case DVDs burned on two different drives produce the same jittery
result. My Hp computer has lots of capacity. So I'm wondering if there is
something about Vista itself which is causing it, and any suggested solutions.
