Well... despite the obvious (iTunes sucks!) do you know if, perhaps, when the CPU spikes you're actually streaming the video instead of just playing it? That might account for a difference. Probably doesn't apply, but do you have dual monitors by any chance? In some cases a program that's (even a little bit) crossing across the dual monitors can send the CPU sky high when playing video... although in my experience this has only been for video overlay (as from a TV card) and only with very dated dual monitor cards (where only one of the outputs actually supported overlay).
