Choppy DVD playback on Infill G4
I get choppy DVD playback on the G4, whether with Streetdeck, Centrafuse 2 (RC3), or standalone Windows Media Player.
Is the CPU just too underpowered? That seems ridiculous considering it was designed as a DVD player.
It is watchable, but very annoying.
(And no, I'm not watching while driving. This is for passengers.)

Well, I hadn't tested the DVD playback much before... just briefly a while back when it *seemed* okay, but now that I'm playing closer attention the problem is very noticeable. It's not constant, but every 10 seconds or go it will hiccup a bit (varies depending on the scened).
I doubt it's the laser since it works so well in ZoomPlayer in Overlay mode. I'll try more this weekend.
I'm sure it's not a region issue though.
I just used the DVD playback this past weekend and it worked fine for me after rebooting the system.
The Cyberlink codec did NOT seem to help.
And I have the same problem when playing back a DVD file from the hard drive.
The freeze/choppiness sometimes only occurs every 30-40 seconds, and sometimes it is more frequent.
