I have an xVid codec installed and a AMD 3700+ so I don't think these are the issue. I downloaded both the 350meg and the 700 and they both seem to "skip" slightly. Perhaps it was a problem with the video feed? Unless of course it plays flawlessly for other people...
Like I said, the best way to describe it is it seems to freeze for less than a second, then it speeds up for a second, plays normal for another second and does the same thing again.
I believe that the xVid makers only supply the source code and that every codec is third party...(correct me if I am wrong), so maybe you can tell me what codec you are using (please).
Thanks for your time Capt Snow!
