More freezing problems of doom.

OK, I recently bought the BG DVD boxset. Very nice. However, for some reason after a shortish period of time the DVD starts being very choppy to the point of being unwatchable, before eventually crashing. WTF is going on? I have 64MB graphics, Win XP and 2.53Gz processor.

I want to watch it without crashing, GRRR!

What type of software are you using to watch the dvd with?

I sometimes get a problem where the screen an sound stops for about 5 seconds, before resuming, having missed out a bit, but I haven't had it completely die. I would say codec, but if you're running it from the DVD...like zod said, software?

Power DVD, WMP and Win DVD. All have the same problem.

I assume you've tested this with other DVDs, to make sure it's a software/hardware problem, as opposed to a software problem? Also, what type of audio is on the dvd? Are you trying to watch 5.1 on a sound card that only supports 2.0, etc.?
