A lot of times I try to play different video on Quicktime and get choppy playback. Can't tell you why. So the majority of vids I play are in VLC, it's playback is perfect.

is it just this movie?? are there other 24 videos that are exactly the same bitrate/size that play perfectly?? or is it the whole bunch?

Its the whole bunch. Over 30 videos.

tried without the plasma???
probably just the high bitrates. scale them down maybe?

Its the same on my mbp. the sound is fine but it seems like the frame per second is a little lower than it should be.
