Sound scratchie and skipping on DVD playback

Newbie Forum
#1

Hello,

I was having problems with dvd lagging while playback as I posted on an earlier thread. However I have since realised that the actual dvd graphics(the movie) does not lag but is quiet good. However it is only the sound that is lagging and scratchie and that gives an impression that the video is lagging. I have tried to install updated driver for the sound card but it has made no difference. Can anyone Please help.

the spec of the computer is
pIII 800 133Mhz
40gb HD
768Mb RAM
128Mb Geforce FX5200 video card
128Mb Creative Vibra sound card.

Use VLC tool for playing dvd video on your computer.

Try other DVD media players

What screen resolution is your monitor set at? If it is above 1024X768 your system
might not be able to handle it, which I have seen affect the sound first. try it on
800X600 just to see if this corrects the problem. I take it that they play OK on a stand alone player?

I changed my screen resolution to 800x600 but there is no difference still the same problem. I have used various media on the pc but I have the same problem. They work fine on a standard DVD player. What do you mean by use the VLC tool???

The video codecs I have on this system are:

3ivx D4 4.5.1
iccvid.dll
Indeo Video Interactive R4.5
Indeo Video R3.2
Indeo Video RAW YVU9
iyuv_32.dll
Ligos Indeo XP Video 5.2
msh261
msh263
msrle32.dll
msvidc32.dll

Yes. Videohelp is also a good place to get help too.

If the original DVD has the same sound/video problems, goto CONTROL-PANEl and turn HARDWARE ACCELERATION on the SOUND/VIDEO device down to see if it makes any difference.
