Summary: Use the following options when mounting with sshfs: -o cache=no -o direct_io to avoid jittery video.

Background: I have videos sitting on a local server that I access wirelessly from my laptop via sshfs. Simply put, I mount the remote directory over an SSH connection. I use the wonderful program MacFusion as a frontend.

Problem: Jittery video.

Solution: When mounting with sshfs, use the following command-line options: -o cache=no -o direct_io. In MacFusion, you can enter that verbatim in “Extra Options (Advanced)”. Voilà, smooth video!
