Most often this is a hardware issue.

It could be that you're using a poor quality DVD disc. (Stick with Maxell, Verbatim or Tayo Yuden. Stay away from Memorex and other budget brands.) Or you disc was recorded at too fast a speed. (In my books, I recommend recording at 4x.) Or it could be that your DVD player just doesn't handle home-burned discs well. (Check it on a friend's DVD player.)

You don't say if it is "skipping" during preview or from an actual DVD. If from an actual DVD you burned, then Steve's answer is probably correct (skipping usually happens when the player can not read the data fast enough from the disk to keep up with the display). If you are seeing this in preview in the editor instead, then that is a different issue.

It would also help to understand details of the "capture"... was it capture from tape or just transfer a file from a card? Either way, details would help...
