Hello, I am having a very strange problem with my Dv9000. When I go to play a DVD it plays but very choppy like a scratched disk. I have tried many other DVD's and they all play this way. The movie seems to be going and stopping constantly. I have checked the processor and ram and they are not even being put under and load so I know it is not that. At least I think. I have also tried to use different programs to play the movies and the same thing. Could I have a bad dvd-rw drive?
Thank you Sal

. What media player are you using?

. Codecs?

. Check the DMA mode within the disk controller in device manager?

cheers ...

Ok. I checked the region setting and it was US. The DMA mode setting was set for DMA if avalible and I have the divix codec installed. I tried a difffernt movie I purchased from the store yesterday and still the same thing. Any opinions on where to look next. Oh yes I have tried to play the dvd with vlc, windows media and hp quick play and all do the same.
