So ffdshow comes with a bunch of codecs that do xvid/divx etc, so you're still going to want that.
Really you are trying to decide what you use for tv right? So it's your mpeg2 decoder.
Personally I find that cyberlink gives the crispest video (nvidia purevideo is slightly fuzzier) however it is the least "error tolerant" of the...

ffdshow does indeed play a lot of file formats but NOT necessarily the best.
For example NVIDIA PureVideo (not free) will do way better job on decoding MPEG2 both SD and HD sources than ffdshow
CoreAVC (note free) will do again way better job on decoding h264 files than ffdshow.
AC3filter for ac3 sound again is better than...

Indeed. For MediaPortal I currently only use CoreAVC (for h.264 obviously) and ffdshow (for the rest). ffdshow seems to work great in RC3 for all cases (also LiveTV mpeg2 decoding + deinterlacing).

you defently need a faster CPU than your 1GHz Athlon to enable post processing with 3-4 filters. FFDShow post processing can make your picture look much better but since its a software decoder it uses to much CPU if you enable luma, chroma filters and image resize.

I'm using the version of the PDVD9 codec installed by the freely available "HD Pack 2" package. No need to buy a full version of PDVD9 - in fact you don't even need the trial version, the HD Pack just installs the codec.

Maybe you ask too much from your system, if you also send it out as 1080P, furthermore you should check the following:
Make sure vertical sync is Always On (sometimes called Wait for vertical refresh or something) (check in your graphics card driver software setup)

No, the best is running 50Hz material @ 50 Hz (dunno about running 50 Hz @ 100 Hz - probably good). 50 Hz material @ 75 Hz is an alternative, but not as good as 50 Hz material @ 50 Hz.

Spragleknas naled it in the head.
So in summary:
- when you try to play a HD movies, it will stutter
- it stutter because the movie is software encoded and celeron 3.0GHz is too slow for software encoding
Depending on the type of movies that you play, you can accelerate them using your GPU.
