my DVD playback is really bad
freezing frames, pixelated frames at times… not watchable at all

radeon 9600 se
lite on LDW451S DVD r/w
win xp pro sp2
athlon xp 2500+ @ 2.2ghz
1 gb ddr 400 ram

using power DVD 5 and 6 yields the same result, i haven't tried any other softs yet, but i'm not sure if the issue is specific to these apps
