So it's definite now. Your drive -is- using DMA. But MPlayer DVD is still choppy, correct? I may have missed this in the discussion, but what video and audio output drivers are you using for MPlayer? I recommend 'xv' for video and 'alsa9' for audio. I apologize if this is redundant. On Monday 02 December 2002 03:33, John Pettigrew wrote:

YaST reports that the DVD drive is using DMA.
