the mms:// points to a asf file or at times a meta wmv depending on the
version of of windows media services inside that file will be a a
pointer to the real file sitting in the media folder for windows media
services.
There is a number of stream rippers that will cache all the real wmv now
granted they are windows versions of software but should run in wine.
But .... normally how we would fix this problem would be to go into
windows media and set a slightly slower setting in the internet
connection part of window media player that would cause more of a buffer
that would fix the issue of choppy video.
