Choppy playback with DVD-Max

[sjoeze]

I'm having a RT-2000 system that works fine (after several months of "fine-tuning". But when I want to playback DVD's using the BOB I get very choppy playback. This is not the case when I use DVD-clone instead of DVD-Max (DVD-Max gives much better picture than DVD-Clone). I've tried already DMA-enabling and upgrading my VIA-drivers (I have a Tbird 900 with a MSI K7Pro 2-a, 512Mb of RAM, using Win98SE and a Pioneer 10-speed DVD-ROM). This choppy playback doesn't occur when I disabble dualhead. I've heard somewhere that this a problem with PAL-settings. Anyone also has this problem and a workaround for this???

Welcome to MURC.
As your problem is with an RT2000, I am moving this thread to the Desktop Video forum. That's where all the RT users hang out...

Oh boy, wish that they did - maybe Matrox would give me one to help support them. I've got to be honest, the best place to find RT2K support is at at Matrox own forum. I know, cutting me own throat, but deception doesn't keep folk hanging around for long.

It's possible that one or two folks around here may have some ideas, but certainly RT's are in a massive minority.

Are you running Win98, ME or Win2K?

I'm using both: win98 and win2000. I've recently installed in a dual-boot systeem on a different logical partition. The problems are on win98. I haven't tried it yet with win2000.
The reason why I'm on this forum is because Matrox has sent me to this forum (not RT-2000 related).

Where did you find your driver-update? I'm currently using firmware 2.2 of my dvd-player. Do you use NTSC-setting or PAL or can you use both?
