DVD playback on SAM440-system?

Maybe you should post this somewhere where more OS4.1 user post.

My first reaction with a SAM based system is to suggest that its CPU isn't up to the task of DVD decoding, but that doesn't seem to be your problem (your problem appears to be software related).

Common guys! Any suggestions, alternative playback software, etc?

CPU is fine, technically a Pentium II 266mhz plays DVDs without dropping a single frame.

There was something you had to set in the old days for DVDs to play, DMA mode or something if I remember. Perhaps there is a similar setting on OS4 and the DVD drive is too slow in PIO/standard modes etc?

What is the CPU/speed of your system and the RAM?

Even some 366mhz pathetic laptops with no graphics acceleration beyond 1995 VGA ISA card chipset levels  can play back DVDs via Windows XP and 192mb of RAM (or 128mb and Win2k) so I would be astounded if you can't get smooth DVD playback on a PPC board.
