Thread: Blu Ray playback problems

Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by jwhitehouse88
Recently bought a studio 15 laptop with blu ray player and a copy of the dark knight However playback is pretty poor skipping and genrally every 5 mins having to catch up with itself leaving juddering and no smooth playback updated all drivers using power dvd dx and 512ati radeon 4500 graphics card with dual core 2.1gig i thought this was more than enough spec for blu ray playback?

Hi, jwhitehouse88: Check your CPU during BR playback. Let me know if PowerDVD is using 100%. If you're not sure how to check this, there's a little utility called Process Explorer that will do the trick.

power dvd is not using 100% at most about 20 but average about 10%...system idle processes however is using 70% and above.. will this effect i

That looks fine. System idle is just what is seems, the system is idle. I would check Dell downloads for two things. First, a driver update for your graphics adapter. Second, see if there is a firmware update for your BR drive. I would check for you but there are a few different Studio 15 models and I'm not sure which is yours.
