[SOLVED] CD/DVD Playing Problem

VanishNAct · 12-27-2007, 11:28 AM

Hi,
I just started having problems playing movies on my pc. I have a Lite-On CD-RW/DVD Combo drive and a Plextor PX-740A/SW Internal drive. When trying to play a movie it will constantly skip on both drives. It will play audio cds without skipping and I bought a CD/DVD Cleaner and it played without skipping. I think the problem started after I ripped music cds. I was wondering maybe drivers got corrupted somehow, and would need to be reinstalled. Or could it be something else that they both use that would make them behave this way. I am so confused and could use assistance.

How are the drives set up as master and slave? Are they on separate IDE channels? Are you using 40 or 80 wire IDE cables?

koala, I have had this set up for about 2 years and they have worked great until lately. I do not think it has nothing to do you channels or cables. Thanks for your input maybe you can think of something else.

Mon, I thought it might be codecs, but my laptop plays them without the codecs install on it, so I thought maybe that wasn't the problem.

I am soooooo confused.

Just to update, for incase someone else has the same problem. In my particular case I found a yellow question mark next to the Video Controller in the Device Manager. After reinstalling the driver it worked perfect. I don’t have a clue as to what the Video Controller has to do with the CD/DVD Drives skipping, but it stopped the skipping and works great now.
