Stwange waappy pwoblem.

Have a lappy floating around, reasonable spec, but DVD playback seems fucked and jerky, everything else is fine.

Any ideas?

Looks like it has got a dodgy keyboard as well... ;o)

Could be any number of things - Perhaps the lens needs cleaning, or perhaps DMA mode is not enabled on the DVD drive (therefore the reading of the disk is too slow for proper playback - Do you hear lots of "noise" from the DVD drive?), or it could be something related to your graphics setup and DVD playback software.

Without further info cannot really say...

Too much spaff has leaked down past the keys. Stop watching dirty films.

I had that for a very long time on my laptop, turned out that the colour depth was the problem. Set to 16bit and it played jerky, 32bit and it played fine.
