After my 4 year old Creative drive (DVD6240E) drew its last breath i bought a LG8160b drive and found that all my movies were now stuttering.
I checked up on here and found that the LG8120's had problems with stuttering so i bought the drive that everybody seemed to be recommending - a Pioneer A106.
The thing is, I still have the stuttering - if anything its even worse.
Before when I was using the Creative drive it never stuttered once or had any breakup at all - after 2 minutes of watching R2 Blade 2 (straight from the wrapper) i thought i was watching a slideshow and the image was being corrupted as well.
I can't see that its a bottleneck with my system because surely i would have had that problem all along.
I've patched the drive so its region free - could that make a difference? (TBH there were problems before i patched it - they just seem worse now - although that could just be my imagination)
I've tried the disk and others on a bog standard tesco's player and it works like a dream - so it isn't the disk.
Anyone with any thoughts?
Cheers
