Watching videos purchased from iTunes on a PC

So I purchased a season of a TV show that I couldn't find in my usual routes. When I try to play the video, it is really choppy. When I check task manager, the CPU usage goes from 0-5% to 100% and the memory usage goes up very little. This machine runs MPEGs and AVIs like a champ. Why are M4Vs such a challenge?

Here are my machines specs:
AMD Athlon XP 2000
Asus motherboard with a 333 FSB
1 G memory (I think it's PC2700)

It's not a state of the art machine, but it should handle video playback with out a problem. I'm kind of annoyed. Any suggestions?
