It might be your dvd drive that's slowing you down.  Make you have enabled dma on it, etc. - it should be better if you can copy them to your hard drive first.

Your system specs should be good enough, unless for some reason your video or audio card is crapping out - which hardware do you have? (I used to use my p2+p3's for playing dvd's)

This box actually runs XP so I am useing a lexar pen drive with dsl installed and an external serial modem

...so not enough room to copy dvd's to pen..
I have extensions so use dsl restore=sda1. Would I add dsl dma to that? did not know one could do that.

does the codec pak do anything for the nav packet issue, and does xine search the codec or do I have to manually.

the libdvdcss was mentioned..is that a single file or a series, and where do I find it..debian old, new for dsl

thanks for the response I will try dsl dma..

ps by edit do you mean keep all on one post?..I think this is the right place. I admit I need work on the posting..

adding here....Some how I managed to get the mplayer window to center and this allows more of my movies to sync..
.if I move the window or do other than play it goes out of sync........I had not connected centering the window with the sync as the credits were roleing..
.so many of the movies now play and those that do not will play in xine..
I so far have only three that will not play in either. which I think is very good.
xine seems best also if I just play/stop...
it seems slow to respond during play ie: menu, which is why I thought ram as the pen /w extensions likely uses some of it.
as long as the window will stay centered then I am a happy camper...curious though about what is in one that is not in the other that splits what will play.
anyway glad for the posts but need a brake from reading so think I will watch a movie...did I say how cool that is...
Thanks

Try dsl dma restore=sda1

I can only suggest to get video accereleration and use the xv module for a much smoother video playback experience (esp. during fullscreen).

If you can't, you could always lower your resolution in order to get a virtually larger image on your screen.

If you use mplayer, you can try the -framedrop and -hardframedrop options.
