That could be due to the drivers you are using. Is all video playback choppy? Or just DVDs? The answer may narrow out the cause.

MY video is fine, accept for DVD playback as far as I can tell. I haven't tried DivX or any other format yet. I will try PLEX Media Center and see if it clears up. The DVD playback is not so much choppy, but stutters, that is best way I can explain it.

I have had stuttering DVD / VOB playback in VLC, while divx / h.264 / any format playable by quicktime would play uber smooth. Turned out that VLC 1.1.9 was the culprit. Downgrading to 1.0.5 made the video playback much smoother.

I couldn't get PLEX to play DVDs, maybe there is some steps I need to work through to install DECSS or something...
