I am currently using Hoster 3.316. Many moons ago I was having problems importing a singers disc. Each time I tried would distort the current selection. After many tries in researching here on MTU, I gave up.
Today I was using my Dell E1505 which is what I use with Hoster. I noticed that my DVD movies where doing the same thing with the audio. Very choppy.
Tried update of drivers etc. Nothing worked. Then I found this at:

"There is a 90% probability that this is due to your DVD drive being stuck in PIO mode. Go to device manager, expand IDE controllers and check the advanced tab under device properties of your secondary IDE channel. Look next to current transfer mode, and I believe you'll see PIO.
To resolve this (still in device manager), expand CD/DVD drives and uninstall your drive, then uninstall the secondary IDE channel. Reboot your system, allowing XP to reinstall these devices. Then go back and change the setting to "DMA if available", and reboot again."
I did. It worked! Not only did it make my DVD movie work; but it also now allows me to import a disc while playing a current selection.
Hope this helps.
