Does anyone know a possible reason for why I can't play 5.1 DVD albums any more? I used to be able to but now they splutter and jump and won't play properly, using either WMP or Winamp. Could it be the codec or something? |

I've been having trouble playing them if they are DTS on my player that's the only one in the house that can play DTS. Same symptom. In my case the original hasn't ever worked right from the beginning. The problem has gotten more severe over time... ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I hope you didn't upgrade to a Creative X-Fi? I had a similar problem, and it was caused by the copy protection on the DVDs in conjunction with the NVidia Decoder. I solved it by installing AnyDVD ... not to copy the DVDs, but to simply make them playable in my computer. Or are you talking about a standalone player? ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

| Thanks for the suggestion Mike but I've tried AnyDVD and it makes no difference. |

Did you install anything which could affect the codec? DVD-Player, Graphics card (driver) etc. ... Maybe it's also related to the sound card. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

| Could be a memory issue, as everything else seems to grind to a halt when I play DVDs. Strange thing is, CPU isn't maxing out and nothing else is using much memory. |

Sounds like some kind of program conflict. Used to have terrible problems with Nero and Pinnacle being in conflict then lately Nero and Napster. |
