The video plays fine with Windows Media Player, but I am getting stuttering both on my Windows PC and also my Apple TV (1st gen) when watching within XBMC.

I also tried copying the video directly to the ATV hard drive (to eliminate any network issues) and am getting the same results.

Log is below.

Initially tried watching with the IceFilms script and thought it might be network related. Link for the show is here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I04WQQZG&w=624&h=396

You have a boatload of these error messages. Looks like you have some sort of a network issue. Are you wireless? That would be my guess as to your problem.

I thought that could be the problem as well, but tonight I copied the file locally to my laptop and get the same results.

BUMP - still looking for an answer (primarily since my wife wants to watch this video LOL)...

It stutters here as well, and I'm running it off a hardware accelerated RAID5 disk array!

The CPU is very low, so it's obviously some quirk of the encoding. I'll try recoding it to h264 and see what happens.

As I expected, after recoding the XVid to h264 (with Handbrake) it played normally, so there's something XBMC doesn't like about the original format. I don't know anything about the DVDPlayer code, so I can't help any further. Recoding the video would at least keep your wife happy. I used:

Code:
HandBrakeCLI -i Kathleen_Madigan_Gone_Madigan_2011_DVDRip_XviD.avi -o Kathleen_Madigan_Gone_Madigan_2011_DVDRip_XviD.mp4 -f mp4 -I -e x264 -S 760 -2 --crop 0:0:0:0
