Apologies to those who have read this elsewhere.

I have a problem playing DVDs on my XP PC, in that the video is fine,
but the sound is badly distorted - sort of sounds like someone with a
stutter, but at very high speed.

This arises using any player on my PC, and any DVD, whether shop bought
or home made. The problem does not occur when playing AUDIO_TS and
VIDEO_TS files on my hard drive,


Check DMA mode is enabled for your DVD drive?
