My DVD drive is on secondary slave (hdd) but it is using SCSI emulation as the secondary primary is connected to my Plextor burner. :( Tried to use hdd but unable to make it work under Ogle or mplayer, I'm wondering on two possibilities: 1. remove SCSI emulation on the DVD drive, but dunno howto? :( 2. find a way to overcome the jumpy problem, and I'm here to seek for help. :) The same SCSI emulation was used in 8.0pro (same PC) before and the jumpy issue was not that serious (still jumpy), but now it is very serious. :( Any help please, thank you.

playback is NOT smooth
Do you have an IDE (as opposed to a SCSI) DVD; do you have DMA enabled?.
If you do have an IDE DVD, you can check in yast --> Hardware --> IDE DMA setup... if you see it there, you cna enable DMA...
However, sometimes like in my case it is not there; I enable it from the command line like this (as root): hdparm -k1c1 /dev/hdc
Note that my DVD is the primary unit in the second IDE (therefore is hdc); hda is the primary unit in the first IDE (usually the HDD), hdb is the slave in that first IDE unit (it usually is a second HDD or sometimes a CD), hdd would be the slave in the second IDE...
Try to play your DVD... if this works, let me know and I'll explain to you how to make this permanent.
