Jerky DVD playback

I always seem to get jerky playback when playing DVD's with VLC. I updated to 2.2.2 and it still has the problem. The problem is especially likely to occur if I jump forward or backwards by clicking on the progress bar. Playback will be fine then in 2 minutes it will jerk forward a few seconds, be ok for 5 minutes then jerk forward a few seconds.
Media player has no issues like this in spite of me clicking randomly on the progress bar.
I hate Media player though because it completely unintuitive to use! VLC by comparison is very intuitive to use.
I've checked the forum and the last post I see detailing jerky DVD playback is in 2010! Could it just be a DVD playback buffer setting that needs tweaking? VLC players regular files, e.g. mp4 etc ok without issues.
Another thing that might have a bearing on the problem is that VLC always skips the copyright notice at the start of the disc whereas Media Player plays it.
