I burn some dvds and they play ok on stand alone dvd players, but when it comes to DVD-ROM (PC) they skip all the time :-(

Can someone please tell me if there is something i can do about this? I have tried cleaning both rom and disks but nothing happens.. I have read something about DMA settings and a thing called ForceASPI . Can someone please tell me where to find this thing and how to use them?

thanks

What is the brand of the media you are using? And at what speed did you burn them at? Here is a DMA guide is for whatever reason you think your DMA is off:

I take this thread as you have both a dvd-rom along with a DVD-RW drive?

1)Your stand alones are playing those backups ok
2) Your dvd-rom is showing playback issues with them.
3) If this is a separate dvd-rom or combo cd-rw/dvd-rom drive,those issues need verified by playing them on the pc using the DVD-RW drive that produced them.

If your backups are skipping on the dvd-rom drive then,and you cleaned the laser lens,then probably a worn out drive. Aspi shouldn't have much to do with playback issues when it's only on 1 drive. You need to confirm that issue with the burner drive that produced those backups.They should be near perfect. Also answer Glue eaters question of what brand name/format/and speed rate of media you are using.Media quality is the most common for this issue. Here's some more things that will cause those issues:

Multi-tasking
Paper/sticker labels
Burn program
Fragmented hard drive
Burned too fast/too slow= too many errors
Spyware/ malware
Dirty laser lens

What dvd programs do you have?

I use Nero,so it has its own aspi layer. If you have nero6,just post back the burn log so we can have a good look at it. When I use neroinfotool,it tells me aspi layer is not installed.
