Dell XPS M1730 - While playing DVD, laptop screen flickers while in full screen, but not when it is smaller - any ideas?

Hi. I have a clients PC that when he puts a DVD in to the laptop to play it and goes full screen, the laptop screen flickers. However, when I size the DVD player smaller, it doesn't do it. I read on another forum that it may be the video encoding / decoding and that the player is just not reading it as fast as the movie is going. I downloaded AVS DVD Player, but the same things happen.
The two players I've tried are Interactuall and AVS. Any ideas??

Thanks!

Both not very good players, uninstall AVS, and this inter-actual
inter-actual  is not really a default player for DVD it must have come with one of the DVD onboard and you installed it from there.

Install VLC it supports DVD

then r/click the dvd rom drive in my computer / properties / then  auto play / set it to prompt you
from now when you insert the dvd it will prompt you
select VLC.
