DVD spinning speed

Hello,

I've got a BENQ-DVD player in my computer and I use PowerDVD4 XP. I have the
following problem: All dvd's but one (U571) are played at rotation speeds
of 1x or 2x, so the drive is not or hardly audible. But with U571 it runs
at full speed, so besides the movie sound I have to listen to this turbine
spinning all the time. Is there a way to fix this? Are there for example
tools for setting the dvd read speed? I've searched but found nothing.

TIA

Halfgaar

It is most likely that the disk is unbalanced or warped.

Otherwise, Nero 6 contains utility to limit the drive speed, don't know of
any others.

I can very clearly hear that the disc spins faster then usual. Normally,
when I insert the DVD, it rotates quite fast. Then when I press play on
Powerdvd it spins down and the movie starts playing. With U571, it doesn't
spin down at all. It's not inbalance noise or something like it.

No he never said that the imbalance was anything to do with the noise, there
could be a miniscule warp on the disc that's causing the issue.

Why would the disk spin faster if there is a warp on the disc?

Just found another such utility. If you have Nero Burning Rom 5.5 or later
then you should have Nero DriveSpeed in Ahead Nero / Nero Toolkit.
