Jerky DVD picture G400 MAX with W98 SE

The problem could come from DVD-ROM. Toshiba DVDROMs with old firmware version have less compatibility with dual-layered DVD disc. Check out the following URL to determine whether your firmware is the latest.

After BIOS post, it starts to boot Windows. At this time, press F8 quickly, and you can see a Boot Menu. Select MS-DOS Prompt(should be be 6) and it just enters the DOS 7.x command prompt and won't enter Windows.

Then, of course, run the BATCH file...
I remembered the program would automatically search the DVD-ROM drive.

Note: Don't do it under MS-DOS Prompt of Windows. It doesn't work under the Protected Mode.

I too was about to give up on DVD playback on the G400, until I found the very latest version of PowerDVD.

That works like a charm. No problems, provided DX7's installed. Tried it with my G400 MAX, G200, and a V3-2000. All work fine.

Just my $0.02
