As I understand it, the drivers for the DVD drive are part of the OS. I found that Win 98 was rubbish when it came to DVD playback and have enjoyed much better success in Win 2K. The most likely cause of the jerky video is the lack of a dedicated decoder card. The MX is okay (its what I use) but some scenes that involve a lot of movement can be a bit of a struggle for it.
