I think that it could just be a ram issue. Try shutting down everything you don't need before watching a video. If you're just watching run of the mill mpg's and avi's, I would suggest using Winamp instead of Windows Media Player. Winamp doesn't suck up as much memory as Windows Media Player does.
Also are you watching streaming video? The choppiness could be the video trying to buffer(download the next chunk). Try saving videos to your hard drive and see if that works better.

1. Maybe you need codecs
2. Media Player cause a problem (reinstall it or use other player)
3. Other aplications are running using the CPU and memory so your playback is slow.
