I don't have a hardware dvd card but I notice intermittent slightly
choppy playback of dvds too.  It seems to happen during high motion
scenes and when the camera pans a lot.  DMA is on and -vo or -nosound
don't seem to make much difference.  If I try ogle or xine, playback is
smooth.  It's odd because if I encode with mencoder, the encoded file
is very smooth and all the choppiness is gone.

I see this too but the delay seems a constant 200ms to me.  I just use
-delay.
