I only use Konttori's Media Converter at the moment, but I get the same stuttering in Mplayer, no matter what (supported) codec I use. Every so many frames, the N800 decides it will not show a couple of them, and then go back to normal business. It's very annoying.

With MPlayer I've never seen a hang completely out of the blue; only immediately after pressing some button. With Media Player I agree that it can hang for no reason.
But that's the point: Occasionally I want to push a button. This is a portable device, odds are movies are not going to be watched in one go, but in chunks of available (lost) time. Media players are supposed to be able to withstand the amazing stress of user interference. (that's sarcasm, by the way)
