You should check the DMA settings of your DVD drive and hard disk. DMA ( Direct Memory Access ) will dramatically reduce the CPU usage when transferring data. If a high speed drive is not using DMA, it will never reach it's rated speed. This results in decreased performance, since the DVD device depends entirely upon the speed of the CPU. You can download a free utility DVDSpeed to test your DVD drive's real speed. If it's lower than 3x, DVDIdle cannot work properly.

Video and VR playback takes quite a bit of computer power. Try clicking on the square video resize button in the upper right-hand corner. This will make the playback window smaller and thus smoother in playback.

If you pause a DVD that you were playing without importing, then you can resume playback from the "New" tab of the Movie Collections page on the onscreen display, by selecting "DVD in drive" and "Resume Disc".

Check to see if your computer meets the system requirements. If it does, you might have too many applications running at the same time. Close other applications and try viewing the video again. If the problem persists, your computer may have other services running that are precluding it from reaching peak performance. In worse cases, your machine could be suffering from spyware or computer viruses.

The movies in The Daily Vehicle Inspection are made to play on slower machines, but every machine is different. Often, installing the entire program (use the 'Typical' option when installing) will help because the hard drive may be able to play movies faster than the CD-ROM. Also, you should free up as much memory as possible by closing other programs that are running.

This could be due to the graphics configuration. If you click the 'screen option', located on the right of 'VP' on the 3D screen, and select the best graphics options for your computer.

It sounds like you either have a lot of other applications running on your PC, or maybe you (or other people) have used all the spare capacity on the broadband connection. Try closing non-essential applications and seeing if other people in you office (or house) are using the internet

It is likely you are using the coax or optical out from your motherboard. It has been observed on a few motherboard using Soundmax: solution can be find a driver for your motherboard that can fix the problem. One is listed in this thread , see if it works for you

A superior way of viewing video images compared to the traditional interlaced method. Progressive scanning creates a picture signal with double the scan lines of a conventional interlaced picture: 480i (the "i" stands for "interlaced") creates a noticeably sharper image. The 480p ("progressive") image helps eliminate motion artifacts, so even on large screens, the progressive-scan lines are less noticeable and picture flickering is greatly reduced.

No, none of the chips we sell will effect your DVD player, you dvd player will work as good or better then it does now. Yes better then original as some of the products such as the Gameshark2 actually turn your DVD player into a mulitregion DVD Payer allowing your console to play movies from other countries.

For DVD playback you must have installed MPEG2 decoder filters, together with AC3 decoders in your system. These filters are included in Coda Codec Pack. Another possible cause is that your DVD is region-protected and your DVD drive is unable to read DVD's of other regions. To fix this there is a software that will make the DVD seem unprotected to all applications trying to access it (eg. video players). The name of this software is AnyDVD.

DVD's that are produced by any major movie studio are encrypted to prevent piracy. They cannot be played back without the proper keys to decrypt them. There is a program out there called decss that will decrypt and play these DVD's properly, but in the US we have a law called the DMCA (digital melinium copywright act) which prohibits the distrobution of this program, as it circumvents the copywrite protection on the DVD's.

The DVD media might not be compatible with your DVD player. Please choose more compatible media such as Ritek.

The average length of our DVDs is about 80-90 minutes. Anything longer then that and there is the possibility of visual compression degradation. The period of time we allow for the DVD is ample for the edited video we produce. If you breakdown the parts of the video into scenes, you can get an idea of the average timeline (depending on the chosen package).

PCs with DVD-ROM drives are likely to have DVD playback software installed. In case your PC does not have DVD playback software, you can download a trial or purchase one of these playback programs:

With some movies that are recorded over 2 hours long, the data is spread across 2 layers on one side of the disc (dual/double layer). The freeze occurs when the first layer has been read and the player changes to the second layer. It is not a fault with either the disc or the player.

It may the BIOS. One user reported that his Asus PCH-DL motherboard worked fine with bios 1003 but then had trouble with 1005. Reverting to 1003 restored his performance. One reseller isolated a possibility as conflicts with the integrated network interface card. Disable the network function and see if the crashing ceases. Also, NewTek has discovered a BIOS error with the X6DA8-G2 motherboard based systems.

Yes and no. No in that the official specifications obviously won't mention rival formats, unless it's to slag them off, but as with support for DVDs, it would be stupid for many manufacturers (especially those that haven't strongly backed any single format) to not support all the major formats, just like how DVD recordable multi-drives (DVD+ and DVD- support in one drive) is the de-facto standard at the moment.

It includes a remote control, & an infared receiver. The receiver is plugged into one of the Xbox controller ports.

When you start WinDVD for the first time, you will see a dialog warning that performance is dependent on your system configuration.

This appears to be a flaw in the Firmware. Please update your firmware, see Yamakawa Firmware update page.

The EVERPLAY specification can optionally write corresponding image files into video format. This shall allow consumers to enjoy their pictures even with DVD players that are not yet EVERPLAY compliant. EVERPLAY v1.101 includes all basic functions to realize secure preservation and interoperability of images that are necessary to enjoy pictures. It is designed to allow implementation by variety of devices.

Click the "Select Source" button on the main window and then select "Open DVD File on hard disk drive" option. Select the "VIDEO_TS" folder that stores the DVD files. For example, if your "Temporary Path" is "C:\DVDCopy", then you should select "C:\DVDCopy\VIDEO_TS\". Click the OK button when you are done. Select the "VIDEO_TS" folder that stores the DVD files. For example, if your "Temporary Path" is "C:\DVDCopy", then you should select "C:\DVDCopy\VIDEO_TS\".

Each DVD-Video has an associated EXCEL spreadsheet that is generated by the video timing capture process. During video timing capture, TigerViz captures start/stop frame numbers from your DVD-Video for each segment selected by the operator, and then stores that information in the EXCEL spreadsheet.

The first thing you will need is a HD DVD capable player. No existing DVD player will be able to read a HD DVD, and there is no software or hardware upgrade that can be performed to enable HD DVD playback. Buying a new player is, therefore, the only choice if you want HD DVD playback.
