Not shure if this is the right area but here it goes anyway.
Recently I got a dvd for my puter.
My system is celeron 600mhz
512 meg ram + Soundblaster live 5.1 using kx drivers
Software = power dvd 4
and dvd idle 1.31
I'm not losing frames anymore thanx to dvdidle.
But every movie I watch is out of sync with the sound.
Anybody got any ideas?
Or do i need a new mobo and cpu? ( i know i need one but want to wait a while and hopefully watch a few dvd's while i wait)

Any help would be much apreciated.

regards
raje

your PC should be ok, but the video card is what I would question.
Settings in PowerDVD are default at Hardware Acceleration. You can try unticking that (in configuration>video) but also I would check to see that your DVD-ROM drive is set to DMA & not PIO.
Depending on your OS there will be slightly different methods to this, but these have been discussed recently in the hardware section.
Good luck ( & you shouldn't need to use dvd idle).
Hope that helps.

PS
what OS & what is your graphics card?

Graphics is the problem.
It's onboard tnt2 32meg (piece of shite)
OS is windows xp pro and i had a look in the bios for the dma setting. Think i found it there couldn't find it in xp.
Thanks for your reply

DMA is enabled (bummer that)
Must be onboard graphics that is the problem.
