It is probably the speed of the computer, especially if writing goes choppy at the same time. I have a similar problem when watching a dvd on my computer whilst doig some other things. You can get a video decoder card to slot in, instead of having the computer decode the video in software, and that may hep (i am too lazy to get round to finding mine!).
Memory may help, you can never have enough :)
If not simple things like defragmenting the disk (in windows under accessories>system tools) can also help the general speed.
As paveway suggested, try usin media player 2 (Start>Run and type mplayer2), the new versions of media player seem to get worse and worse!
