When I had this problem, I found that disconnecting my internet connection and closing all of the programs in the task bar other than the DVD player stopped the lag....

According to me, Problem most likly with Your graphic card. you can download latest graphic card driver from manufacturer website.\nalso you can try to play videos in other softwares like jet-audio, power dvd. if problem present, then problem with Graphic Driver or Hard disk(if you are playing from Hard Disk)

Video conversion is highly CPU dependent. So if your CPU isn't fast enough, that may be the problem. It could also be a slow hard drive.

Sounds like a problem with the drivers. Try re-installing the drivers or look online for the latest drivers for you particular DVD drive. You may have installed drivers for the wrong operating system, if you have XP then make sure that you install the XP drivers.

is anything else running on the laptop when you play the dvd?  Could be your processor and or memory can't keep up with the dvd.  Does the DVD play normally on a regular dvd player?  if yes, then the problem is with the laptop and I would take it back .  Without knowing your processor speed and memory that's the best advice I can give you.

To to My Computer, right click, go to Hardware, Device Manager and see if you really have a DVD/CD ROM drive.  My guess is you only have a CD drive, which will neither play nor burn DVDs.\n-MM

Before you can play DVDs, you need to install a DVD decoder, this is mostly included in the DVD drive package if purchased separately , or it came with the system when you got it. If you don't have the Cd, try to ask your computer's manufacturer. If you can't have the CD, download the trial versions of PowerDVD from cyberlink.com or try other dvd decoders available online. Good luck!

the problem is that you have several problems first the processer is too slow 900mhz is the minimal requirement. Second there the ram you need at lease 256 mb to opearate the drive with any degree of success. I don't believe it is possible to run a dvd-rw on the computer in question.

Hi, \n   You might removed the codecs that need to run dvd files. Either download indeo codec or try reinstall windvd again. Dvd codecs are available try searching the web and download it.

Open DVD Decrypter and go to the Options Menu.\nUnder I/O try checking a box for ignoring I/O read errors.  This may solve your problem.  If not, the copy protection on the DVD is probably a new type and has not been"worked-around" by programmers yet.\n\nAlso try lowering the burning speed to 1-2x lower than the highest available.\n\nie: 16x -- lower it to 8x\nie: 8x -- lower it to 4x.

The previously mentioned codecs may help you view DVDs, but nothing will work better than an upgrade to Windows Media Player 10, which plays DVDs just fine.\n\nhttp://www.windowsmedia.com\n\nClick on the free player download link.

You need playback software that is capable of decoding MPEG-2 video.\n\nIf you are on Windows, Windows Media Player 10 can play your DVD for you.\n\nOtherwise, consider WinDVD or PowerDVD for playback.
