[QUOTE="Computer.Geek, post: 58696, member: 7028"] I have been watching dvd’s on my Ibook G4 for the past few days but at work today I noticed that the playback appears to be glitchy at times. I remember when I had the basic ram, 256mb, it was like that while I was watching the Chris Rock Dvd which had little action in it. Since then I have updated my ram to 768mb and definitely have enough ram as well as don’t have any programs running in the background. The dvd in question that I am talking about is the Family Guy cartoon dvd. One of my personal theories is that it is the fact that watching a dvd on a computer/laptop screen has a much higher resolution than a typical t.v. screen and therefore a lot more artificats will be seen. Talking to a colleague, he stated that it is probably b/c of dust on my lens sensor on my combo drive. I ruled out the dvd b/c it is in mint condition as well as the fact it is not a burned copy. I am assuming the video card that comes with the ibook should be more than sufficient for dvd playback. Advice please. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
