I have a Liteon DVD/CD-RW combo drive, and when I play DVDs, I can only
go about 5 minutes before I get desynch between video and audio, or
sometimes bad choppiness in the audio. I haven't had this problem on
any of my other computers except an old iMac which was one of the first
Macs to ship with a DVD drive.

I am running XP home using an Abit NF7-S mobo with on-baord audio.
 
some onboard audios chips are very CPU intensive since a lot of the "work"
is driver related and not onboard processing by the audio chip. it could be
that your system is experiencing something along those lines.

Well I answered my own question... I found that there was a newer
firmware for my drive. After update, the desynch no longer happens.

Heh, I had no idea something as simple as an optical drive had firmware :)

That was going to be my first suggestion :-D

Other suggestions would have been bad ide cable, making sure DMA was
turned on for the drive, chipset drivers (if applicable), directx,
audio drivers.
