I'm using VDMSound to run a retail copy of Discworld 2, but I'm experiencing extreme stuttering during cinematics and other cutscenes.
I tried searching for it and found a few other people with the same problem, but I found no working solution for it. Does one exist?
Probably CD-ROM access playing tricks. Read off the CD image as an ISO or Nero image etc. (if it has audio tracks) and mount it using NeroImage or Daemontools and run it off the virtual CD drive - could be somewhat better.

Thanks, but it didn't help 😒
Make sure that you haven't the option "Enable low-level network support" or "Enable low-level CD support". These ones can be really annoying. But VDMS is doing great with a lot of my games.
See too the EMS and the XMS. Try to read all the advanced settings and choose the best config. A day you should play Discworld 2 with no stuttering. You can try Dosbox too. Use Ctrl+F11 and Ctrl+F12 to change the cpu cycles.

Thanks.
I tried tweaking the files I managed to cut back on the stuttering. Movies now run normally for about 30 seconds and then the stuttering kicks back in.
God, how annoying 😐
I actually can't run Discworld 2 without enabling "low level CD support". If I don't enable it, it complains that it can't find the CD. If this is really the cause of my stuttering, I need to figure out how to get it to run without low-level CD support. Anybody got any ideas?
Additional note: the low-level CD support needs to be enabled whether I use the real CDs or CD images mounted with VirtualCD.
I'm using XP Pro.
