Choppy DVD playback

Personally, I uninstalled the IDE channel corresponding to my drive, and then it worked perfectly!
Device Manager > ATA/ATAPI IDE Controller > Primary/Secondary IDE Channel

Don't worry, you can happily delete your channels; they will reinstall themselves afterwards. By the way, you don't need to restart the system to do this. In the toolbar, right next to the sheet with a big yellow question mark, you'll see a small PC with a blue screen, click on it, and the hardware update will happen automatically.

Good luck to everyone ^^

Hi,

I had that same problem. Thanks for the information. I followed the first procedure and it didn't change anything (everything in DMA and the playback was still choppy).
I then uninstalled the controller and restarted the computer > a bit drastic but effective! Without any danger**

Hello everyone,

I had this choppy reading problem too. I had just bought a DVD on Clicker Training, I was watching it and then I had a doubt: was the DVD corrupted or was my player "acting up"?

It was while watching another DVD that I realized the error came from the player.

Like you all, I searched online for tips (knowing I'm not an expert when it comes to installation, programming, etc... I'm actually a bit afraid of making mistakes!).

I followed this procedure:

- go to "Start", then click on "Run"

- type: devmgmt.msc

- go to "Unknown" because, for me, there was no "ATA/ATAPI IDE Controller" indicated as I had read in another procedure

- right-click on each of the IDE channels (primary and secondary) and choose the "uninstall" option for each (I didn’t touch the "standard dual channel PCI IDE controller)

Once all these channels were uninstalled, I restarted my computer to let it reinstall the IDE channels correctly.

After the reinstallation was done, I restarted my computer again and, oh miracle, I was able to watch my DVDs normally!!!!

Thank you all for your various tips.

Hi,

it could be your DVD player or your player!

Either hardware or software!

Or maybe an application running alongside that is using up a lot of resources!?

What version of Windows do you have!?
What player!?
And what software are you using to read them!?
And what configuration!?

Hello,

it's always the same for me after all the steps mentioned above, I don't know what to do lol.
it's a client's PC equipped with a P3 and 384 MB running XP.
it's been happening since I installed SP2.
I've checked everything: physical and logical drives, registry, BIOS...

thanks if someone has the solution
have a good day

Good evening,
I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.
I followed all the instructions given by Starik, and "transfer mode" is set to "DMA if possible" on Device 0, but the active transfer mode remains "PIO Mode," even after a restart.
I'm open to any ideas to resolve this issue.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards.

Hello WW, how did you uninstall the driver because I'm having the same problem. Thank you for replying.

Hi, this is the 3rd time I'm leaving a comment here, hoping they won't delete it for the umpteenth time!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, I bought some DVDs (U.S.A. Region 1) through imports, however my DVD player (Region 2, normally multi-zone) makes a strange noise!!! Furthermore, when it plays the movies, it stops for a few seconds then resumes playback, but skips certain parts; in fact, some chapters of the movies don't even show up on the screen!
Can you explain this to me as best as possible, please?

Could someone respond for "WW"? Or would anyone have the answer to the question that "mily32" asked? Because I can't take it anymore with this buggy CD player! :@

Thank you very much, that works!
thank you thank you!
=D

I would like to thank WW because his method has solved my problem, thanks to him and her. ;)

Thank you starik I had the same problem!!!!!!!!!!! I adore you xd

Wow, it works perfectly for me who had given up for almost a year, everything is running smoothly again! Starik is great!

a big thank you, everything is working

Oh no, my bad. It resolved the issue as long as the computer stayed on, but now it just perfectly reads CDs but doesn't even detect DVDs anymore :(
If anyone has suggestions...

Indeed: like everyone else, I had the same problem with choppy sound and image while playing DVDs (the problem appeared overnight), I searched the internet for an hour and THANK YOU to this forum for helping me solve the issue: I followed the recommended procedure (uninstalling the primary and secondary IDE channels and then restarting the computer) and everything is working wonderfully again! Thank you!

Thank you, Starik, my problem is solved (I only lost 7 euros on the purchase of a cleaning DVD).

Hello,

I tried to do what you said, but I don't have a main or secondary IDE channel. I only have Intel(R) ICH8N...AHCI Controller. Is that what I need to uninstall? For me, it's choppy after a while but not right away. Is that normal?

Thank you very much!

I uninstalled the main IDE channel driver and it worked, I can read DVDs normally! (on laptop)

Thank you CandyShop, I insist THANK YOU! ! !
I had been trying in vain for 4 days all the solutions, updating drivers, uninstalling/installing codecs, cleaning the registry, etc., etc... I was getting ready to format everything when the solution was so simple.

Just for your information, the symptoms: my DVD drive read computer data perfectly, but it was unable to read a commercial DVD or CD, the needle jumped (at one point the image was also jerky with lots of green pixels, in short, a disaster). On the other hand, there was no problem reading a video recorded on my computer.

Another symptom to put you on the right track: playing a DVD would spike the CPU, the computer was lagging like crazy, yet in the task manager no process seemed to monopolize the CPU. I even thought it was a virus.

In short, a risk-free solution to try before any risky maneuvers.

Thanks again
