DVD's play too fast within Windows Media PLayer

[SebAguilera]

DVDs play just fine whem I use WinDVD 6 or Cyberlink PowerDVD 6 but when I try using windows Media Player 10 to play them, they play slightly fast. I mean that the audio and video plays about 1.5X normal speed. I can still distinguish speech however it is slightly fast and skips once every few seconds. It's kind of hard to tell if the video is playing fast too but I believe that it is since the audio and video seem to be in sync with each other.



1) I tried setting the WMP options to Analog Audio

2) I have the correct audio cable connected directly from the optical drive to my sound card.

3) I have unchecked the "Enable Digital Cd Audio for this CD-ROM device". under the device properties in Device Manager

4) I have updated to the latest Sound Blaster drivers

5) I have installed the latest Bios for the Pioneer A108 Drive that I am using

6) I am using WinXP SP1

7) I can only assume that this is a software issue since DVD"s play fine on WindDVD and PowerDVD


Does anyone have any clue as to why this is happening? Any ideas??



Thanks Dudes!!

I just tried a DVD with Media Player 10 with SP-2, with a BTC burner - no problems. Could be SP-1, solved with SP-2. When I first d/l MP 10, it was "Beta". (Didn't have DVD at that time.) Maybe it was solved with the "Final" that is installed with SP-2.

HI there,
-I have checked the enhancements and play speed is set to 1.0
-I have Updated To WINXP SP2 and the problem has not gone away
- I was able in the past to play DVD"s as long as I used WinDVD or PowerDVD but to be honest with you I don't remember if they played properly on Media Player. I seem to remember that they did although I can't be sure.
- I have also played around with the hardware accelration settings within WMP for the optical drive in question

- I have not tried VOB"s, VCD's or trying a different comp with MP10 on them yest but I will do so and post back Thanks!
