Am I the only one having issues viewing the newest videos smoothly? They hiccup fairly frequently.

My system is no slouch, but I know it cannot handle Crysis on full settings (more low-med, 512MB video card). Would that be the cause?
If you NARC it, they will come...

What video player are you using?
I recommend VLC player. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Don't know why you'd be having trouble. The vids are all encoded with the standard Microsoft codecs, nothing special. I could otherwise recommend installink K-Lite or some other codec pack to make sure you can play whatever you'd like to, but, as I said, we didn't use anything beyond the WMP9 stuff.

It is probably some other software interfering because I played the videos on a stock Windows system with Media Player.
