I'm sorry, but you need to punctuate your sentences. It's much too hard to read your posts with all lowercase and no punctuation. I'd like to help, but you need to make an effort to make your posts more readable.

What other apps are running at the time? Which DVD players are you using?

The one that comes with osx and no apps are running for days on end and i shut the apps down when i am done with them. That means actualy right click and quit the programs. Well there is something that is going on that starts the problem with the stuttering of the videos both all media players. I know I have a rogue somewere that may not show on activity monitor
