I may try PotPlayer again, but that has always been a connection hog as well (try running PotPlayer with a program called 'TCP View' running in the background to see how many times PotPlayer tries to connect to various websites).

I've uninstalled it from all my devices because the 'updates' were such a disappointment and it was quite difficult to dig out all the slime KMPlayer put on them. But, after 'updating' to the 3.7 version, especially after 'updating' to 3.7.0.113, it is clear they are no longer updating the media player elements of the program, only the adware and connection-hogging elements. I used to love this program and had it on all my computers/devices (all eight of them). I highly reccomend it if you're having the same problems I did.

Every other one I've tried (VLC, 5KPlayer, PotPlayer, VSO Media Player) has choppy DVD playback. This is the ONLY free media player for Windows that's played DVDs fluidly for me. After they didn't, I went back and played scenes again, shocked to find no skipping or glitching at all. I popped in Rogue One once again, skipping around to 'problem areas', waiting for frames to lag. Going through Google search results one last desperate time, I found a forum post with a link to this program's download page. I nearly gave up, coming to the conclusion that maybe my laptop's video card is just defective. I've even triple-checked that all the relevant drivers are up to date. No alternative media players and tweaking with their settings has worked either. No amount of tweaking with VLC's settings has worked. I have spent quite a few hours today researching solutions for VLC media player's choppy DVD playback.
