Video stuttering and choppy on full screen when HDMI to TV

Really weird thing going on if anyone has any tips please...
I'm running VLC on my Macbook Pro (MPTT2LL/A). When I connect my Samsung TV through the HDMI port to watch there, as soon as I hit Full Screen on VLC the video gets choppy, it stutters. It will look choppy on my notebook full screen mode as well when TV is connected (mirroring displays). If I exit full screen, the video looks normal on both. A weird thing I found out is that if I put on full screen mode but keep moving the mouse arrow around the screen while the video plays, the video looks perfectly fine. Immediately when I stop moving the mouse tho, the choppiness starts again.
Please, any tips are welcome! :)
Thank you!!

Hi, what version of VLC are you using ? The video output for MacOSX is being reworked so maybe the next version will change this behaviour.
