The videos are on the local hard drive.  It seems to be only with windows
media format files.  When it gets choppy the CPU jumps up to almost 100%.
The CPU is a 3.2ghz Xeon processor.  I know WMF files take more CPU than
many other formats, but there is definitely something wrong here.

  Are these videos on a local hard drive, or streaming across a network?
If the former, are there other processes trying to use that interface?
