Also.. I have updated to the latest graphics drivers, Sound drivers and on Service pack 3 with all latest updates.

Hello,

You said the disc is skipping? Sounds like it is the disc drive not the software. Started happening to me with the DVD drive on my computer.

If I am understanding you correctly, you should contact LG about the drive then, or clean the discs. This works for my DVD skipping issue, sometimes.

If it is not skipping in this manner, then let us know

Regards,

David

Well I did think that, but I run some testing methods on it and it worked flawlessly on most other stuff.

I use it to install stuff to the PC, burn CDs and DVDs and use it to play DVDs with different programs such as VLC media player and it works perfectly for all this.

But when it comes to Pdvd9 for Bluray it skips every minute or so, a few frames ahead, sorry for the poor explanation its quite confusing hehe.. a bit like this

Movie play time :: 1 minute 40 seconds in (example)

1:40
1:41
1:42
1:46
1:47
1:48
1:49....

I spent 3 hours last night trying to figure it out, driving me insane now

Though I think I may have a bit of info to help.. I played a normal DVD instead, that also skipped but it only did it every 3-5 minutes instead of 1 minute or less like the Bluray.

Also, I have several Blu-ray movies and they all used to work flawlessly before this started happening, now it happens on all the movies too + tested on a PS3 so the Movies are fine.

I've been having the exact same problem. Most new releases skip randomly during playback. My older blu rays play fine. I upgraded my video card from a Nvidia 8800 GT to an ATI HD5870 and doubled my ram to 4 gigs. I installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 64 on a new hard disk. I still have the problem. My theory is that it has something to do with the newer HDCP/DRM system that is built into the disk. I think that Cyberlink has problems decoding it on some systems. This could be tested by using a program like anyDvd to decrypt the disk and then see if the playback is normal on PowerDVD... I haven't tried this yet.

Its been a while sinse i've had this error, unfortunately I never got the right answer, but I did recently install Windows 7 64bit. Now there aren't any issues! so you can ignore me from this thread now..
