have you tried using Pete's 1.48 plugin and enabling unfiltered framebuffers? That should make it faster. Also, are you using a CDr writer to read the cd? Try using your proper CDROM reader, since it should be faster. I have only a voodoo3 and the movies are fine, but keep in mind that I have a 44x cdrom. If nothing else works, try switching CDROM plugins (I heard the CDR Barett should work well) or mess around with the MDEC options. I use the Epsxe core cdrom reader and have both MDEC options enabled. I know its not much, but I hope I helped (seeing that no one else is replying)
