Goto Yast. There is a setting for IDE DMA and speed if you look carefully at the selections. Turn on yours to DMA on.

Any suggestions on how to overcome this "feature" most welcome because I finally acquired the ability to view DVDs but I am not used to viewing jerky moving pictures.

I usually type in a terminal: hdparm -d1 /dev/dvd I find that it sticks for long periods but occasionally is lost. I have not been able to figure out why it goes away sometimes. However, if I see the DVD starts to play jerky, I just go to a terminal and issue the above command again. I agree with you that probably there is a config file that can store this setting, but like you, I don't know where it is. If someone here can post what file it is, that would be great.
