I've found mPlayer to be a little more CPU heavy on playback, and VLC gives better results (except sound quality, which sucks on VLC). Of course, I'm on a much slower CPU (450 G4), but you may want to try VLC to see if it plays better there.

I haven't tried this yet but someone recommended setting the VBR to 3 instead of the default 6.

We need more info, are you going form a DVD9 to a DVD5? Is it jerky when played back on the computer? not likely. It is jerky when you play it back on your stand alone DVD player? it is a Panisonic?

Details?
