It is a simple matter to correct this without changing your files. This happened to me, and here is what I did:
Go into TCPMP and select Pref. Go to the video tab Drop down the Quality drop-down menu (arrow on the right). This menu is to the right of the Dither Colors check box. Select low quality (or lowest quality if that is acceptable) Close the Preferences screen Your videos should play normally with the files you have and the picture will still be decent.

One way or the other you need to do something with those files. Either you resize them, or you lower the framerate or whatever but something needs to be done. Overclocking alone is not going to do it (as a side note, it burns down battery a lot faster too and might result in other instabilities). Besides, why would you need to process ALL your video files at once ? You only need to handle those you are going to transfer to your Treo. You can only store 4Gb worth of video on your SD card so ... and compressing those vids will even result in you being able to store MORE videos on that same card. Greetz, Nico.
