[PlanetCCRMA] DVD playback not fluent

[Steven Yi]

I've recently went through an upgrade of mandrake and other things and all 
of the dvd players I tried had become jumpy even though they worked before.  
What ended up fixing it for me was making sure the dvd drive had DMA enabled 
via hdparm.  After doing that, I returned to nice fluid video.

good luck!
