I downloaded the file and tested it here. Unfortunately, my PII 400 seems to 
be too slow to judge on the smoothness of the playback, but it looked 
sufficiently good. Some speed variations could be seen, though, but I would 
rather blame X11 or the kernel for that. 120fps is quite a job, most displays 
don't have such a rate, so X11 will get into trouble. The kernel might also 
schedule the video out thread too late for some frames which will result in 
discarded frames. I think these two effects explain the speed variations I 
saw here.

It would be interesting to have someone with a faster computer try the file.

Btw, do you use a 2.6 kernel?
