For some reason when I play HD videos with insane native resolutions (+1800 by X, for example) I have a lot of "chugging" issues, regardless of player. Is there any way to fix this, or an easy way to compress the videos?
 
Well, try MediaInfo.

The way I see it, there could be few reasons:

-your computer or the video card is old.
PCs made a huge jump in HD playback abilities in the last 2 years or so.
Primarily because of GPU hardware assistance (even iGPU) and players able to take advantage of that.

-you don't use the right codec and/or player.
If the video is encoded using a rare/fancy/unique codec, the GPU can't assist in playback.
The CPU has to do the heavy lifting and for HD content that can be a bit too much...

-it is interlaced content.
Interlacing is probably the biggest b!tch for today's video playback. And probably always was.
Because it is almost always screwed up. And the players can't get around those screwups.

Diogen.
