On a recent Dell laptop, what would cause DVD playback to be very choppy?
I believe not having DMA enabled on the dvd drive can cause this. On my Dell I have hdc=noprobe in the kernel parameters in grub.conf. That seems to be enough to keep the drive working nicely.
No, still choppy. Unless I added it wrong:
