So, a friend of mine has a Sony VGN-TZ190N laptop running Windows Vista Business edition (32-bit). The machine has an Intel Core 2 U7600 processor running @ 1.2GHz, 2GB of RAM, and a 25GB HDD w/ 4GB free.
She has WinDVD 8 for Vaio installed but she uses Windows Media Player 11 for DVD playback. Commercial DVDs are able to be played but with some intermittent problems.
Sometimes, the movie playback will pause as if the pause button was pressed. After a little while, movie playback will resume but not always. This doesn't happen on all DVDs (as far as I can tell and I'm doing some testing now). I've been able to playback commercial and home burned audio CDs just fine.
I did experience a DVD playback pause while watching the last chapter of the Rush R30 concert DVD (Limelight). The DVD paused after a couple of minutes (if that) into the song. This happened with both WinDVD and WMP11.
I've got some commercial DVDs I plan on running through the machine today to see how they behave. I'm playing The Italian Job right now and I've got Ocean's Eleven, The Core, Tombstone, Metallica: S&M, and Rush R30 with me for testing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Peace...
