How fast is your HD transfer rate (SysInfo)?
Also, which file system do you use?
RSCP about 8,300 K/s (Sequential test)
SysSpeed Rawread 7.41 MB/s
SysSpeed3.15 (very old version) 13,107,200 Bytes/s

Not sure which tool is giving the most accurate result, but I think it's fair to say 8MB/s raw read. Why on earth no two programs can agree I have no idea.
I'm using SFS on this machine (FastATA MkIII, 80GB 2.5" HDD, Apollo 060/80MHz), and it plays the HAM8 video without any stutter/slowdown.
PFS may be better, but it's SFS and it's served me well (SFS) for years.
The video in question by the way is 336x177 25FPS HAM8...a film trailer for Fast & Furious 6 I've converted.
I made an identical HAM6 version as well, and my ACA1232/33Mhz with PFS and 40GB 2.5" HDD (onboard IDE) plays the HAM6 version no bother, but the HAM8 version it just won't do.
Weird thing is, throw it a HAM6 video that's a higher resolution than the HAM8 equivalent (larger filesize, but same FPS and audio and length) and it plays it fine...despite the filesize being significantly larger than the AGA filesize (which stutters badly when playing on my 030 setup).
