So it's definite now. Your drive -is- using DMA. But MPlayer DVD is still choppy, correct?
Yup
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.
xv for video and sdl for audio - I haven't touched these AFAICR, they're whatever were set upon installtion. I'm using the nv driver for my GeForce2 gfx card (nvidia driver causes problems with large screen modes, and didn't seem to improve playback when I tried it).
