You need to figure out what your system can play without it stuttering, I would suggest you go here https://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/ and download each of the versions of the movie and play each one. If it stutters, then rule out the settings for that format. When you find a suitable format. Duplicate those settings in your conversion for your video. Open the video in VLC and type Ctrl-i then click the codec tab, this will tell you the codec info.
