Yeah, I was so disappointed with the video performance, and I didn't
want to take any more time researching the issue. I installed knoppMyth
(my old trusted standby) and it addressed everything:
MythDora (open source nVidia drivers -- learned the hard way):
choppy video playback. CPU at 70%-80%
KnoppMyth (nVidia's closed source drivers):
smooth and impressive video playback. CPU at 20%-30%
I'm surprised googling "mythDora nVidia choppy playback" didn't turn up
anything useful.

P.S. I just re-googled it, and this thread comes up!!
