1. No mention of the OS.
2. What hardware issue could this be?
My answer is it sounds like a software issue.
3. "I have an new computer..."
You have a WARRANTY issue. A new machine shouldn't develop such an issue when new.
I suggest you contact the maker and make it their problem. If you want to solve it, be sure to post in a Software or OS Forum that matches. Note the OS, the DVD player software and versions of everything.
I can play DVD on my 256 Meg RAM PC with either Windows 98 or XP, so I think it's not a RAM or hardware issue.

I have an new computer system with a 2.6 P4 CPU, 512 memory and 40G hard drive. I run a DVD movie and after 10 - 15 minutes I recieve an error message saying that I am out of memory. Do I need to install more memory just to watch DVD movie and how much?
Thanks
