The computer sets the power level lower to save the battery, this has adverse effects on performance, make sure its not turned to max battery. Turn it to Home/Office Desk for max power
I have the same problem, yet the problem still persists. I have a 3.06/1.5M chip. Even with speedstep underclocking it to 1.5Ghz, I still think that DVDs SHOULD play.

--WinDVD studders when playing movies on battery.
Go into Display Properties, Screen Saver tab, clicked on Power, changed power scheme to 'Always On'

The problem is that some custom and other power schemes set the CPU speed to 645mhz and it's just too slow.
I've solved this by using the SpeedStep program linked in my signature, to make a new profile for when on battery
