Looks like you're running an AMD C-Series APU then. These chips are great for their low power, but along with low power, they are also very low horsepower, expecting the graphics portion to do most of the heavy lifting where possible. If you want to watch HD video on such a low powered device, you have to fully leverage the graphics portion of the APU, otherwise you'll get exactly what you are experiencing, choppy, inconsistent playback, and possible audio problems to go along with it.

I have found that commercial products such as Arcsoft's Total Media Theatre work very well, as they have taken the time to integrate proper hardware acceleration into their product. With VLC, you get what you pay for.

I recommend you download a free...

First off, what player are you using for your videos? Have you tried another player and checked if it does the same thing? It might just be the software :)
Second, do other movies (or even audio) experience the same behaviour? (e.g. CD's, DVD's, Bluray)

I recommend you download a free trial, and see for yourself if a commercial product will play back your media in an acceptable fashion:

The other thing to consider is where you are sourcing your media from. If you're not playing from a local source, you need to ensure you're video is getting to your laptop fast enough to play back without hiccups, and that your transport, be it wired or wireless networking, isn't adding too much burden to your system to have enough resources left for the decoding and playback. Some of the cheaper networking solutions come with enough overhead to cause bad video over network performance.
