Is it worth going to the weekly builds?  I see on the Mythbuntu site 
that you can add a repository to do so.  If so which one is recommended 
and am I going to get more fixes or more problems?

We watched some recordings last night and they seemed to play alright 
except for one movie which froze about every second due to the CPU 
maxing out!  I didn't think that there was as much load on the CPU?

video ram = GeForce 9400 GT (512MB ram).
