My best guess is that your harddrive isn't fast enough. I see exactly 
the same problem - animations above a certain size just won't play smoothly.

DVDs use MPEG-II compression, so there's vastly less data per second to 
be whisked around.

Basically it doesn't matter *which* codec you use, just so long as you 
compress it down to a bitrate your I/O system can handle. [Which, unless 
your I/O system is especially slow, should be a pretty easy target to hit.]
