jerky play

[Andrew Bonds]

Hello VLC developers...

I've got myself a sony 40x16x dvd-rom for use with redhat 7.2, i've 
managed to get DVD's playing okay, but it's still fairly jerky, I've 
noticed the dvd performs very little activity while playing (just by 
looking at the green light)

I've got a pentium-celeron 566, with 256mb ram, NVIDIA riva tnt2 32mb 
AGP vid card...
I am using the nvidia drivers they released on their web page, and 
Xvideo, agpart, nvidia, modules are all loaded.

I've used hdparm to enable udma66 and ide32 bit support, (I'm not sure 
if i need to set more) ...

openGL games and VCD's play great...
i don't know what else I can do! any feedback would be much much 
appreciated

thanks heaps,

Andrew
