When playing most movies in VLC player, the video feed is choppy. Furthermore, the sound is near perfect. Another catch is, this video issue wasn't always an issue. I use to play movies with no problem with video or sound. I can not pin point what has changed between the it use to work fine and the time it started being choppy though.

I have an ASUS G73JW-A1. This system should be more than enough to handle the demand of playing HD videos. Movies that are normally effected are HD videos. These videos range from 4 to 9 gigs. In addition, the videos are in MKV, MP4 (or M4V), and AVCHD (or M2TS) formats. I get the same results when playing move directly off my hard drive or off an external. Finally, all the drivers have been recently checked and updated if needed.

Did you run a memory check? Hardware acceleration? Do players like Flash (Youtube) and GOM work smoothly? – digitxp Dec 31 '10 at 1:55
I haven't perform a memory check yet. Hardware acceleration is enable in VLC. I can't really answer the YouTube question since I am in Afghanistan and HD videos takes too long to load. However, I do have other MP4 HD movies (in .mp4 instead of .m4v format) that play well in Media Player. – SgtOJ Dec 31 '10 at 2:03
Is it the latest version of VLC?, Uninstall, reboot and reinstall VLC – Moab Dec 31 '10 at 3:48

Tools -> Preferences -> Input & Codecs -> Check "Use GPU acceleration (experimental)

That just solved the very same issue for me in v.1.1.5 The Luggage.
