Blu ray on pc problem... - Blu-ray Forum

triplehelix247 · 02-24-2009, 11:28 AM

I have a Vista Home Premium 32 bit pc with...
a P5N-E SLI motherboard
a Q6600 (automatically OCed to 2.7)
4 x 1gb OCZ ddr2-800 (auto ODed to 880 mhz)
a EVGa 9600gt SC (will be upgrading soon)
a Lite-On DH401S58
a Lite-On dvd burner
Acer 21'' monitor 1650 x 1050
I am running it with my 42'' Sylvania LCD with my desktop extended to 1920x1080

ive been using the PowerDVD that came with my Lite-On BD, and all of the software is updated.
I get a little stutter every 5 minutes or so with either of the 2 blu ray movies that i have tried(Nightmare before Christmas and Big Fish). It is not terrible but im sure my comp should be running it flawlessly. Any advice...

Thank you!

Do you have hardware acceleration enabled in PowerDVD?

I just checked and the hardware acceleration is on. Are there any settings that i can change to make everything run smoother?

by "came with your drive" do you mean OEM version. Those are notoriously bad and probably should just upgrade to the appropriate full version (PowerDVD8 or 7.3 Ultra) especially if you want surround sound.
