This is odd...no matter what DVD I put in the player, when I watch it, it seems to move at a higher framerate than normal, and the sound is blurred and gravelly...

Stop drinking.

Shouldn't drinking slow down the framerate?

Seriously, anyone know what's wrong?

What DVD player is it?

Sounds like you're trying to play NTSC discs in a PAL player maybe?

Firmware got fucked up? Laser out of whack?

Considering his location, I think it'd be the other way around...

More specifically, Region 2 in a Region 1 player.

He lives in Philly. It's more likely that he has a bunch of NTSC discs since those are the only ones sold in stores here, and somehow either picked up a DVD player with the wrong region or somehow changed the region of his DVD player.

Hemlock, is your DVD player a DVD-ROM or a standalone?

Standalone, and the problem only just started. I've had the player since February, and all the discs were working fine two days ago.

What brand is it? Have you tried using a cleaning disc? Is it still under warranty?

Have you tried pulling the plug, letting it sit for a couple of hours, plugging it back in and see if it still happens?
