Seems more and more like this is a problem with the way XBMC decodes the video, rather than an intel driver issue.

Tried using the "new" drivers, and there was no change. Still experiencing the macro blocking.

Just finished setting up my mini ITX, i3-2100T HTPC build and I'm having the same macroblocking issue with XBMC. Seems to be XBMC specific as DXVA works perfectly with the latest nightly build of MPC-HC.
Software decoding works fine on MPC-HC, but I'd prefer to use DXVA to keep temps lower inside the case and the HTPC running quieter.

I ended up putting a GTX 260 graphics card in my sandybridge system for now since this has taken so long.

Hi,
same problem here with DVXA2. I have just build a brand new HTPC to be used with XBMC. I have intel i3 2100T core with intel on board graphics. Any idea about when this problem is going to be fixed?

just a question for folks...shouldnt the i3/i5 be able to handle the video without need for hardware acceleration?

it can, but at the expense of more heat & power, and therefore noise.
Is this issue even being worked on?

it works on all other media players which support dxva2. Clearly its a XBMC problem.
