Dvd Drive Stuttering

Raiden1803 · February 3rd, 2005

Other than a CD being Scratched (which i checked) what could case my dvd play back to stutter around from time to time in a middle of a movie?

figgured it had to be a read ahead thing but i dunno, i have a 24x speed drive. maybe its starting to die?

I had an old Sony drive that did that when it was overheating.

When you start to get skipping, eject the disc. My one was pretty fooking hot. To the point I got blisters from it.

Or the dma can be disabled and instead you get pio4. Check in device manager (in ide controllers) and see what you have. Tell me if you need instructions on how to reset it.
