Hi all
My ATI graphics card just died and luckily I have the new SandyBridge i5 CPU with built-in graphics.
Problem is that when running XBMC and watching .mkv and .mp4 files, the video looks corrupt, blocky and sticks.
Does anybody know of any solution?

Hi Spyhop
Thanks for the reply! I'm going to have to d/l the latest nightly and save until I can afford a new graphics card - just spent a huge amount on a blu ray drive and the new star wars box set...
will let u know how it goes...

I've installed the latest nightly build and it seems to have fixed the problem, however I'll sell some of my family members and get a GT430!
Thanks u guys!

Just an update, got myself a MSI GTS 450 1gb DDR5 graphics card, no more troubles at all, bliss...
A note to all ye others who run on integrated graphics - sell off family members it's worth it...

"This $29 HD6450 will playback BD in full 1080P video and DTS-HD/TrueHD audio with ease. AMD+W7+XBMC= no macroblocking either, and it supports 3D too! "
Macroblocking? I never heard about that issue before! I always thought that the gt430 was the best all-around card you could buy, which supports 3d playback. And does windows and linux equally well.
Do you think that the HD6450 is better than the gt430?
