It might your DMA settings, which you can tweak with the hdparm tool.
/sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/xxxX will enable DMA for a device, and just hdparm /dev/
xxxx on it's own will show the current state of the device.
My Celeron 1.2Ghz, 128Mb laptop played back DVDs fine with mplayer, so I doubt
it's a memory/horsepower issue.

After some struggle I now have Xine playing DVDs with sound on my laptop
(1Ghz / 128Mb) only problem is the playback stutters every 30 seconds or so
(video frames jerky, loss of lip sync). Tweaking the settings didn't help
much.
Obviously there's not a lot of free memory on the box, but I don't want to
go and buy more just to see if it might give better DVD playback.
Meanwhile playback with WinDVD4 on Microsoft Windows XP is flawless.
Anyobdy out there playing DVDs? How much memory?
TIA
Colin

Make sure the kernel has support for your motherboard chipset in it. I
created a custom kernel recently and tried hdparm till I was blue in the
face, until I compiled in the right driver.
