DVD playback is jumpy

My problem is that when I play DVD movies they are a little jumpy and not as smooth and clear as they should be. I realize that you have to have a powerful/fast PC to playback DVD's but I at least think I do, or I could be wrong and still not fast enough. I have a P3 550Mhz processor, 160 megs of ram voodoo 3 3500 agp graphics card with tv out, 10X DVD rom, using WinDVD 2000 to play DVD's, and running Win ME. I assume that is a fast enough PCand graphics card, so I am thinking that something else can fix the problem. I realize that the palyback on my tv out will not be as clear, but it is the same way on my monitor (19"). What can I do to fix this? By the way, I heard somewhere to enable DMA on that drive and I did but it didn't work. Thanks in advance for your help.

i have a pIII 667 128mb ram and a 32mb radeon video card and mine is also slightly jumpy, Your running windows me and that eats up a good chunk of your system resourses already if you want a perfect picture i reccomend a least 256mb of ram or buy a dvd for your tv

DVD jumpy with a radeon card?
I had the same problem with both computers in my house that run the same card and win 2K...the fix was to use the powerdvd program instead of the one that came with the radeon card
