@SeijiSensei: I already use Ubuntu for work. When it comes to video playback, however, I seem to have some hardware compatibility issues which translate into poor performance, tearing and no audio through HDMI.

By the way, I ran some tests again but this time I compared MPC-HC with XBMC (Windows version). There is some stutter with XBMC too but it's much less noticeable. And it doesn't crash. As cyberbeing suggested, the problem might be RAM-related: while playing the file XBMC uses 200-300MB RAM, whereas MPC-HC eats up over 2.00GB. CPU use, on the other hand, is not much higher for MPC-HC than for XBMC (in fact it's even a little lower).

My issue with XBMC is that it is more likely to stutter when playing subbed openings and endings, which MPC-HC + xy-vsfilter usually handles flawlessly. Well, you can't (always) have everything.
