DVD Drive Problem
I was recently watching a DVD that I had purchased at the hadji shop when I got to a specific point in a specific episode that caused it to freeze up. My media player crashed, and the computer was slow to respond to my queries whenever I would try to open the DVD back up. It would crash again shortly afterwards. I eventually had to restart my system to get the DVD drive working again. But now everytime I try to watch a DVD or play an audio CD, the audio and video will pause/skip around. As if it were rapidly pausing and resuming. Any idea what happened? I haven't got a clue.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
Stupid GF crash. I lost my avatar, my sig, and my hard earned level 30 something level. Damn it all.

HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA 4084N, Windows XP Media Center Edition, any and all media players. I'm not quite sure what type of DVD drive that is, but its the factory one that came with my laptop. An HP dv8000.
As far as the advanced settings tab, there wasn't a secondary IDE channel. I checked the primary one, and it said Auto Detection, transfer mode was DMA if available, current transfer mode was PIO. It had a first and second device, both with the same settings. There's nowhere I can't reach.

Thank you, that appears to have fixed the problem. It no longer says PIO. It now says Multi-Word DMA Mode 2.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Thank you. I'll try to do just that. It's just that here in Iraq, the post that I'm stationed in has only one place to go for DVD's and that would be the Hadji shop. A lot of times I can't even use them on my laptop because of how heavily compressed the DVD's can be. For example, I can't watch some DVD's of Star Trek Voyager because they somehow managed to cram 20 episodes of reasonably high quality onto a single 4.5 GB DVD. They all work fine in my buddy's DVD player though, so I guess I'll have to either buy one of my own, or borrow his. Thanks again.

Mom always said I should go to school to learn about computers, but nooo I had to learn about welding and then join the Army to be an infantry soldier...
I was speaking idiomatically.
