	No, it's not supposed to be choppy. I can bet it's because your DMA is
turned off. Try this (WARNING: this command is dangerous. man hdparm
before doing it, please):

	hdparm -d1 -k1 /dev/dvd

	Maybe you would have to do something like that (forcing your DMA mode):

	hdparm -d1 -k1 -X34 /dev/dvd

	Maybe that helps.

	About the mencoder problem, I have no clue. I didn't have a chance to
use it yet.

	Best regards,
