Sorry to say that but I have some DVD videos which play smoothly on the  
hardware player
and terribly choke under Linux. Neither MPlayer nor Xine can play them  
correctly.
What is interesting they play nicely under Windows.
I think that we have some problems with continous transfer from DVD device
in Linux so it have choppy playback on 1x or 2x playing speed.
-cache option doesn't help and even makes it worse because drive stops
and starts again which has terrible effect on playback.
No problem with hardware player here.;-)

You can flash them to a new versions.

Because some gays produce output in noncompatible formats.

I am not the only one.
