Hey, wondering if this is just me - but iTunes 7 works perfectly on the PowerBook G4 (1.67), but on my 20" iMac G5 (1.8, 768MB RAM) video playback is appaling... really really choppy, not just windowed, but in full screen too. QuickTime plays the same videos fine standalone...
Anyone have any ideas?

I have the same problem on my PC and Mac. Itunes 7 is just chock full of bugs at the moment.

Indeed. Wonder if there's a bug with the G5 iMac and iTunes 7. Only with some types of movies too. Codec-issues, no doubt.

I had the same thing. Had downloaded several TV shows with no problem, then suddenly they started looking like a bad streaming video. Tried everything I could think of including getting ahold of people at Apple (I run a magazine so I went through the PR department which was the only way to actually reach a person). All they offered was a credit to re-download, which did nothing. The answer? Watch the file in Quicktime directly. If you have purchased something from iTunes store, click on the file, then under "File" choose "Show in Finder." Then, if you're not sure where you're saving your files, choose "Go" and "Enclosing Folder" which will step you back to the folder the show is in. Do it again and it will show you where that folder is and so on. Once you know where the show is, go to Quicktime and choose "Open File" then navigate to the show. Even at full screen the same videos that were unwatchable play perfectly. Yet again, Apple releases flawed software and then totally denies it. I'm a long time Apple user and love lots of things about them, but this is a seriously ridiculous problem with them. From OS to hardware they routinely deny flaws that are painfully obvious, then try to sneak a fix in as if nothing ever happened. Watch and see what kind of flaws the first iPhone has.

Did you try trashing the preferences?

No, I didn't. Which iTunes preferences do you need to delete, and will doing so affect things like which computers/devices are authorized for playback?
