700mhz processor, 20gigs harddrive and 356ram. when i play videos,
both the picture and sound stutter. Is there anything anyone can
advise me with.

Its a known issue,  VPC isn't a multimedia solution, your Mac is the
best solution.

Adding more RAM, 1GB or better and a faster G4 cpu will reduce it, but
will not eliminate it completely.

Do you get OS 9 or OS X ?
If you get OS 9, it can be caused by  the virtual memory on the mac side.
To turn off Virtual Memory, follow these steps:
1.    On the Apple menu, point to Control Panels, and then click Memory.
2 You have to click off under Virtual Memory.
3 Quit the file menu.
4 And restart the Macintosh computer.
