I think the OP would have got better, more considered replies by asking at the zoo.
Like yours?
If the DVD software installs a dll or other stuff in the folder (like C:\temp or c:\tmp) EVE uses to get unpackaged -and deletes when it's done correctly- it is the fault of the DVD software.
The uninstaller used to(or does still?) delete every file within the folder EVE is installed to - like the desktop and the folder where your program links are stored iirc.

I would try to install the game as a user without privileges. If the installer complains you know it is altering files it better should not.

choppy dvd playback can be traced back to the transfer mode the ODD is currently using.
pop into device manager, IDE/IDE ATAPI controllers and look for your secondary IDE controller (or whichever BUS your DVD drive is connected to). open the properties page, go to advanced settings and check that the transfer modes of BOTH devices (there may only be 1 device mind you) to see if either are running PIO mode.
PIO is a software based transfer mode used when the drive gets too many CRC errors or timeouts during reading (normally because of a screwed disc) and lowers the transfer mode (from UDMA 6 down to PIO). if its on PIO then delete/reinstall that IDE controller (you can play with the registry but this is the fastest solution). restart the PC and check it again.

Thanks for the help guys.
I created a limited user account to install Eve with, and I also installed it to a different path. So far it seems to have worked, I'm not getting the sound problems I had before during DvD playback.
Unfortunatly I have no idea which one fixed it, or if it was just a coincidence, just glad to have Eve working again alongside my DvD player

Try defragging your drive before installing the Eve client....
Don't know why as it should have no impact, but solves quite a few problems.
May explain why the different path worked. It might be an indication of a bad sector too.
Lots of things...

What Tachy said gave me an idea:
Try to uninstall both eve and the dvd player software.
Then install eve, and only then the dvd player.
Run dvd player, see if its choppy.
If not, run eve and then dvd player again.
If still choppy, at least that would eliminate the possiblity eve rewrites some dll file in temp folder used by dvd player as well.
Another idea would be to try using special software which monitors and creates logs of installations: each file modified etc.
That might give a hint to which files eve installation modifies outside EVE dir.

It's possible that the latest EVE patch registers a new audio decoder or audio render DirectShow filter. Your DVD player application picks audio decoder and audio renderer automatically, if a system as more than one version of those, it picks the first compatible one it gets.
Try running graphedit.exe (sometimes graphedt.exe), it's a Microsoft app. Then click File -> Render Media File, select your DVD file. You'll see a filter graph. Look at the audio renderer and audio decoder filters, check their properties. Then do the same thing again with/without EVE patch and check if you get different result

Ok, so I patch day, Eve gets patched.
DvD player starts playing DvD's back with choppy/*****ling sound. I end up doing a system restore back to 11th August (when I knew I had no problems playing DvD's) - all works fine, except Eve which now doesn't work.
I re-install Eve, from scratch downlaoding the full, new version of the client....
DvD play-back is now broken again, with choppy/*****ling sound.
Just what the heck did you guys do?
The ONLY thing that would make any sense would be EVE's memory leak... Do you play EVE for a long time then try to run your DVD player? If so, try and reboot after playing eve.
