Hi all,
I seem to be having a problem that I'm hoping someone can recognise and help me fix?
BenQ DW 1655
HTPC - home built
AMD Sempron 3200+
Abit Socket 754 NVIDIA chipset
NVIDIA Pure Video Decoder
1GB Generic PC2100 DDR
CloneDVD
AnyDVD
Now it seems whenever I play a DVD movie, burned or comercial disc, I get half-way through the movie and can expect to have some pauses (or stutters)then the movie plays fine for awhile. These pauses last 1-2 seconds and It happens more often with discs I've burnt with CloneDVD, although that is what I watch most, so maybe there's no correllation there?
The problem isn't worth dragging out my stand-alone DVD player, but I sure wish I could figure out why it's doing this? I was thinking about buying a new drive until I read Webslingers stickey on drive recomendations, and since I have one of the three recomended drives, I thought I'd post here to see if there's anything else I could try?
I went to the BenQ service page to see if I could update the firmware but it didn't look like there was any newer version...in fact, I tryed to do this last year when the drive was new and ended up in the same dillemma?...no firmware files at all, that I could find? There are a couple programs on setting the "book type" but I hesitate to use these because I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing and it appears this is more for compatability than anything else?
My first hunch would be "system resources" running low, but with 1Gb ram, I would think it's not an issue? Also, I have very little Startup apps running so I don't think that's it?
The only thing that is constant is the stutter always happens in the middle of the movie...
Can somebody help me with this? Thanks in advance!:agree:
