Your "Computer Details" says you have a Mac. You should have mentioned that in your post.

I can tell you that if you have an iMac that it has big problems with 1080p video. There is a "feature" of the iMac only where it actually tries to resize 1080p video to the exact resolution the monitor, which is a little larger than 1920x1080. This resizing is built into the OS and is particular to iMacs. As far as I know it has never been fixed because Apple does not consider it to be a problem. The constant pointless resizing is too much for the CPU and 1080p video won't play correctly.

It's possible that your movies that play well are not 1080p. Anything in 720p format will play fine because the iMac will not try to resize it. Nobody knows why it insists on resizing 1080p video, but it's a bug in the OS and it's up to Apple to care enough to fix it.
