VCD playback poor...but only sometimes.

I have a few vcd's that when playing on my computer, start out fine but at some point (could be 15 mins, could be 40) the a/v gets all choppy. The sync is fine, the a/v just stutters. I can play these on other computers or even on my own, if I reboot the system enough times. I have all of the latest audio, video, cdrw/dvd driver updates (cdrw/dvd is a Samsung SN-308B) and run the latest BIOS version. I am using XP Home.

Is this a memory issue? I've tried changing settings such as virtual memory, but since playback will be fine once every five times I reboot, it is difficult to trouble shoot.

I used DVDx Smartripper, DVD2AVI, TMPGEnc and PowerCDR to burn, though as I said, disks do work on other computers, eliminating the software as a problem.

Thanks for any help.

What player are you using? Like your software player?

If its a DVD player this is not uncommon as VCD playback can be dodgy a lot. What burn speed did you use also?

And yes it could be a memory problem too, like if u have something like a p2p app running, then it might take away all your resources, which would result usually in out of sync playback!

I have tried both Windows Media Player 9.0 and Real One 2.0. The file type that is being read from the VCD on my cdrw/dvd combo drive is .dat

I used 4x burn speed.

Could it be a codec problem? How do I determine if I have the proper set up?

After burning the movie, I'm left with a .dat file to play from the VCD. Since GSpot reads files of .AVI type, does this mean, I need to run GSpot after decoding? This is the only point at which I have an AVI file. Then it's encoded to mpg and then burned to cd as a .dat.

Thanks
