Stumbling Blu-Ray

I've been watching some blu rays on my M15x and I'm kind of mad. They run fine for about 45 seconds or so then I can hear the drive speed up and the picture kind of stumbles, then it starts playing fine again. Any idea what might be causing that?

 

I have experienced a lag of sorts with my blu ray drive(UJ-235a) also, but I changed my transfer mode from the bios to the OS by going through the storage driver and enabling DMA mode, thanks to batboy for that suggestion, but it helped and I noticed a small amount of lag as of late but nothing as bad as it was before I made the change.

 

Uninstall Dell DataSafe... That application constantly polls the drive causing it to malfunction.

I almost RMA'd the drive in my R2 until I figured out what was going on.

 

Dell DataSafe.. LOL... Glad you found the root cause. I had heard of the DMA mode but was curious to see what else could be the issue. Good thread!

I tried this but it didn't fix my problem, dell replaced the drive but it didn't work either, it was the cyberlink version 8 software that came with my system that didn't work, I uninstalled it, updated it but that version still wouldn't work so I upgraded to version 9 and it works.

 

I have reformatted my system, will the dell datasafe still be there for me to remove it?

 

Celluarm,

If you used respawn or the restore partition it will still be installed.

 

nope dont have dell data safe, and I still keep getting lag on movies, there has to be a solution, and no I didnt use the respawn or restored partition.

 

Thanks for the suggestion, denver, looks like it solved my problem.
