Sounds like the DVD drive is not fast enough to read the data and is having to buffer. Easy way to tell if it is RAM or CPU is to open Task Manager, tell it to always stay on top, and watch the CPU and RAM usage when you skip forward in the movie. If the CPU hits 100% or RAM is near zero free, that should be the problem.
