Okay, I've now decided to install chromium so I could see the 50/60fps videos, and took a look at the Pang video and had no stutters, everything played smoothly even on an older dual core CPU and no distinct video card, so it must be something with your setup. Though the 1080p here runs very slowly, either because HTML5 is inefficient or my PC's too slow.

What processor and graphics card? What OS and browser version?
Forgot to answer this one.
I'm on a Intel Pentium D 920 (@2.80MHz) with an Intel GMA 950 (hopefully I'll be able to get a video card by the end of this month). Now I'm on Debian Sid but then I was on Windows 7, and with IE11 IIRC. I used Chromium 41.0.2272, basically what's available in the unstable repos.

I'm tempted to install Windows 8 on a temporary harddisk just to see what sort of performance I get with IE11 and 60FPS HTML5 video.
You get better performance on HTML5 on Linux rather than Windows. Upgrading OSes (mainly commercial ones) usually does nothing except slow down your PC even further.
I added another video, this time in 60FPS. There isn't that much motion in it, but the marquee at the beginning and the map load routine should make it obvious: A Ressha De Ikou IV - PC-98 MT-32
EDIT: Just noticed that when I make the browser window smaller (reduce the size of the HTML5 player, the video looks almost exactly like the original (non-upscaled) video footage with the hard edges of the pixels and all that, cool 😁
