- Issue
During playback of some DVD movies, the Toshiba Portable USB DVD SuperMulti Drive may spin down and then back up, causing movie playback to stall for about two seconds, and then resume.
This problem happens with the WinDVD player software -- but not with other player software, including Windows Media Player, and the Toshiba DVD Player.
- Resolution
Click the following link to download and install the Toshiba DVD Player (for Windows Vista and Windows XP) — which plays DVD movies correctly (without stalling) on the SuperMulti Drive.
Note: The link above leads to a download page for the correct version of the Toshiba DVD player app for the mini NB205 models. Because the Toshiba DVD player app was not preinstalled on the mini NB205 models, those models may not appear in the Applicable Models list on the download page.
