I played with these settings on mine and the one that worked best for me was gl. I use smplayer, a front end for mplayer, and I selected the "gl (fast)" setting. It has several settings and that one seemed to work without any pauses or anything else. There are several gl settings tho. One for ATI cards and a couple other generic ones. Hope that helps.
