Super Stryker Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Since my current Samsung DVD-ROM seems to be on the blink, Im looking for a replacement. I've browsed a bit looking at different models. Im looking for the best all rounder in qualitly, with a bit of 'best bang for buck' factor thrown in. What whould you guys recomend? The problem with my current DVD ROM is if I play a DVD, say LOTR The Two Towers, everythings going along sort of OK until the Uruk-hai run past with the hobbits on their back, then it turns into a bit of a friggen slide show, sound and screen gets really choppy. I have tried this on other DVDs, so fairly confident its the actaull DVD ROM. I've concluded that this choppiness is found only when a lot of things are happening on screen at once Is there a fix for this, or do I continue on my current route and look for a replacement DVD player? Please, if you could help me make an educated deciscion, or if you know from experience a great DVD ROM, tell me about it. Note: I dont want a DVD writer, I have no use for it!

pinipig523 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 go to newegg.com and look for a lite-on drive. they have dvd rom drives for under 40$ and combo drives (cd/rw and dvd) for about $50. if you want to spring for something a bit more, check out the NEC dual dvd/rw burner for only 98$.
