Media player?

Does it suck that bad I had it play the Astro Boy DVD episodes from the DVD set on my PC and the picture lagged the sound was going ahead of the movie itself?

Ha... here I have a little bit of sound problems when I watch DVD on my computer. I don't know if it's related to the sound card (it's more than 5 years old) but especially when there is music, it's not very good... It's okay if there is only a voice speaking, but it can't handle properly much more than that.

Maybe I should do some ressearch to figure out what's wrong. I haven't done it since it doesn't really bother me. My computer isn't where I like to watch DVDs.

Edit: I've just noticed your title. Are you talking specifically about Windows Media Player? Because I use PowerDVD to watch DVDs. I don't know what it does in WMP, I don't think I've ever tried it.

I tried Power DVD 5 it either said its copyrighter cant play or it plays and lags the sound and no picture, so I did Media player it played but every other line the picture lagged I think it might be the DVD player maybe the discs have no scratches or marks or anything on them.

Which series gives you trouble? There are several. I have Power DVD 5.0, & have had no trouble with anything lately, that was the fault of the software. However, with 2 region 1 DVD drives, I have had occasions when the older drive ( a Samsung) had trouble reading a disc that played flawlessly on the newer drive ( a Sony). Yet, never had the sound out of sync with the picture.

I have a DVD that has a certain portion of its subtitles that is out of sync with the sound and picture, but that is the DVD itself, not the fault of the equipment.

I've just tried to play a DVD with WMP and I can't get any picture at all! It was a region 4 PAL DVD (Astroboy, what else! , maybe it would work with something else.

Somethings up gotta be when your playing Media player it sucks using some DVD 5 player files or something.
