I just updated my mplayer.  I had version 20050402-0.0 and updated to
20050409-0.0.  I still get the stutter but I now also get a message
about my system being to too SLOW to play this file.  It mentions some
things to try to help with the speed.  I will try some of them but if
anyone has other suggestions let me know.
Thanks,
Andy
