When watching DVDs on my PC, the menu jitters or shakes like we're having an earthquake, but it appears rock solid on a standard DVD player, Macs and other PCs. What can I do to get rid of the jitters? My DVD-ROM player is listed as a HL- DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8160B in a Gateway 2.40 GHz PC with 1 GB of RAM.
It's a bit harder to see the shakes when a DVD video is actually playing, more obvious during the menu when everything's supposed to be static, but I do believe even the video clips shake.
Let me expound a bit to say that when the menu is static with no moving elements, it's rock solid. But once there is any kind of movement, it jitters. I think this is due to the fact that a menu with movement is transformed into an MPEG file in the DVD authoring, while a static image is just that -- a static JPG or TIFF image. Does that offer a clue, jittering when viewing an MPEG file?
Broncodeuce! It worked!!! Using VLC media player worked flawlessly! I had tried Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, and InterVideo WinDVD with no luck. So why does VLC media player work while the others don't?
