iMac G4 800, OS 10.2.x
iTunes and DVD Player skip every couple of minutes. There's a very obvious 1-2 second pause before they continue. This is with no other applications running in the background. I watched a DVD in a window the other day with POP running in Terminal, and didn't see any CPU spikage during the skips. I have no idea what's causing the problem but it makes watching a DVD very frustrating. Any ideas of what to look at?
My MP3s are ripped at the default level and this happens with all songs and with all DVDs.
Thanks,
Mike
