So you ran mplayer on one of the Myth recorded files and mplayer stuttered at the
same point that Myth did when watching the file?

Couple questions:

Are you watching a pre-recorded program while another is recording?

Does the problem happen if you pause LiveTV for a few minutes and then unpause
it and continue watching?

Are there any messages printed out in the window you ran mythfrontend from or
on the backend?  How about the syslog, anything there from ivtv?

I'm wondering if you're running into problems with reading/writing the mpeg2
files at the same time or maybe dma problems or something.
