Thought I'd make a change and start by saying I can play an ISO of a DVD
OK - but the original DVD hesitates, especially in high motion scenes. The
audio is fine, only the video provides the distraction.
I've checked thats its running in DMA mode as indicated by the '*' in the
hdparm output below - I'm wondering if the drive itself is on the way out
(it is a few years old after all).
Be interested in any ideas as although the hesitation is small (can't
really call it jumpy, jerky or choppy) it is very distracting in a tense
scene where a camera pan becomes 5-6 separate ones rather than one smooth
one.
