    I am trying to use xine to watch DVDs but It keeps jerking and dropping
    frames. I have a Athon 2000XP processor and 256MB of RAM which I think should
    be OK. the graphics card is a NVIDIA TNT2 using the nvidia drivers. I have
    included both the output of xvinfo and the file ~/.xine/config if that helps.
    I am sorry the email is so large but I was not sure what was needed.

    Thanks
