My Dlp Projector Lags When Watching Movies, But Not When Playing Games?

This is strange. I have an acer PD 100 projector and it ghosts when I watch movies (pretty badly). Yet when I play video games, I notice no ghosting whatsoever. Why would it be like this and not the other way around? Is there any way to fix this?
I have it projecting onto a white sheet. Could a real projector screen possibly help with this?
It happens with my VCR and DVD player. I have the DVD player connected via component cables. I have the VCR connected through composite. I’m also using a component/composite switch that I bought at Walmart for $20 that I use to switch between VCR/DVD/Wii. The Wii also uses the switch and has looked just fine.

Ghosting can be due to interference (bad analog cables? connection?) or to a slow refresh rate (try some different presets for you projector).
I would troubleshoot by using a known good component cable (probably the one that connects after your video switch to your projector) and connect-it directly in your DVD player
I would recommend looking at your DVD manual, as thee is a setting in the preferences or setup that allows you to sent a delay to compensate for the audio that is not being synchronized right now. I am assuming that your audio is being fed to an audio receiver.
