Sounds like the drive is having problems during transfers. This will cause windows/mouse stutter.
Have you tried copying a data dvd to your hd with the suspect drive? Does this take longer than normal and/or result in stuttering? If data copying works fine, then I'd say you've got a software or driver issue.
If all types of transfers (not just movies) result in stuttering check or preferably replace your ide cable.
Maybe windows needs to re-detect the drive. uninstall the dvd drive using device manager. reboot and windows will re-install the drive. check for stuttering again.
I wouldn't waste too much time on it. Probably easier just to treat yourself to late XMas present since they're so cheap nowdays.
Hope this helps.
