It can't be the graphics chip being unable to render the video, as it can play divx movies with no problem.
The problem with iplayer is the videos on the website are vp6 which n900 does not have as dsp optimised and probably not even neon optimised. An interface that got the iphone or ps3 versions which i believe are h264 would be dsp optimised and hence run decently. Divx movies play well because the mpeg4 decoder is dsp optimised.
