After the troubles last nite, i was trying to play a dvd at a fresh install, and it stutters a little bit (it start happening a couple of days ago (probably, i just noticed then, anyway)).

I tried to play in MPC (both 6.8.2 (or something) and lastest) and it sttuters a little bit (each 20 seconds or something) and in lastest MPC it desyncs audio and video). What is bugging me, is that this never happened before, and its happening to discs that i have watched on this same drive and mpc version. (all originals).

i was bound to try other players (at least it seems like a player problem) such as powerdvd, but yo know, they're not free and such... (looks at washington... see nothing..)

any tips on what might be ?
