Not sure why you want to reinstall Safari? Are you having specific problems with Safari you have not stated in your original post?
A reinstall of Safari: have a look at this Apple article for installing other software, including Safari, from the Tiger DVD - see the section titled More custom reinstallation options with Mac OS X 10.4.
As a precaution, prior to reinstalling Safari, move your Safari Folder, found in your User Library to the Desktop. It has your bookmarks, history etc. Once the reinstall is completed, move the folder back to its original location writing over the newly created folder.
Remember too, the version of Safari you install will be specific to the Version on your installer DVD. Therefore, either run Software Update and see if Safari is updated. If not, you can reapply the 10.4.8 combined update. Repair permissions when you are finished.
Back to the Video content. Choppy playback is not necessarily due to an application problem. Your internet download speed is an important consideration, as well as processing power of the computer etc. Some content requires patience, i.e. letting it fully load before selecting "play".
Glad you removed the duplicate file. How does the Video content play now? Any particular player still not responding?
Assigning a "star" or "helpful star" - simply click to the far right of the user name either the "solved" or "helpful" button. You are allowed to assign up to 2 helpfuls and one solved. The helpful/solved buttons look like this"
