Cube DVDs
Hi All I was recently watching a DVD on a Cube G4 500 MHz 1.5 GB RAM machine, every so often it would like skip I played it with the internal and a Pioneer 118 external and the same results. I'm using DVD player on Tiger. My video card is a ATY Rage6 with 32 VRAM. When the glitch occurs its sound and video. I have an extra Radeon 7500 card I can install if that make sense. I'm thinking maybe a 500MHz processor is to blame but if so I'd think the glitch would be more frequent, Any ideas?

It's the card, not the processor. While my Cube has only 450 MHz processor, it plays DVDs perfectly with a GeForce 6200 (256 Mb). I've heard this is the best video card for the Cube.

Good to hear that. I'll stick the 7500 card in it and give it another try.
