Make sure you have hardware for video, not software.
I have an older powerbook (A mac, but that makes no difference here) that has a DVD drive, but has no hardware decoding. It uses software rendering, and has ALL of the problems you describe. An iBook of mine has a DVD drive as well as hardware to decode... Plays all of the same discs absolutely fine.
And make sure you player is set up to use hardware. I know VLC on the Mac is defaulted to using software encoding. You must turn hardware support on and configure it a bit.
I hope this helps.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
