Hi there,

I have a question about DVD play back on my PC.

My PC is a eMachine eTower466is, 466Mhz cpu, 160M of Ram and 4M of Ram on the ATI 3D RAGE PRO AGP 2X onboard video.

I installed a DVDrom RECENTLY, I can play DVD with the screen resuolution up to 1152x864 in full screen mode.
Most of the time it plays very smoothly. However, sometimes the sound and the video do get a bit jerky.

My question is: Is this caused by not having enough video ram? Will it help if I install more ram memory, or is it because the CPU is too slow?

Thanks.

moviefreak.Both. But mainly the slower proccessor.maybe it to much ram for the board that causing it....>http://parts.emachines.com/emachines/sys_lookup.aspThat is a very high resolution and your proccesor and RAM are fairly low. Try using a lower resolution like 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600. (Also if you have a CRT monitor, you'll be able to use a higher REFRESH rate to reduce screen flicker)

Does this happen on all DVDs? It could be that the DVD is scratched or something.Thank you all for the REPLIES, I just found out that the Real Player plays my DVD much better ther the PowerDVD that comes with my DVD drive.
I am happy
