Weird DVD skipping problem

This is a discussion about Weird DVD skipping problem in the Windows Software category; It's been happening for a while now, but whenever I watch a DVD, it'll play fine for about 5 minutes, and will then skip ahead 2-3 seconds. This then repeats throughout the entire film. While it doesn't seem like much, it can often mean missing an important part of dialog, and it can ruin the whole film.

This hasn't always happened though.
It has happened in powerDVD, winDVD and Media Player - and I'm not sure how to fix it.
I have tried my DVD drive in PIO and DMA modes, and have enabled/disabled Hardware MC (geforce motion compensation).
 
Is it just my DVD drive being a problem, or can it be fixed?
My DVD drive is a 4x DVD combo drive (built in CDRW).
