Video and audio hesitation in playback

I'm trying to play a cd-rom with a mpeg file extension.
The audio and video hesitates as if refreshing. It also
does this with realplayer and quick time. Is there a fix
for this? I'm using windows media player version 9. Thanks

 

what speed is your cd rom, what resolution is your screen
set to, how much system and video memory do you have? if
you can change any of these do so, that might fix it, it
could also simply be the quality of the video, in which
case nothing will do any good.
