Hey folks!
Long time XBMC'er, with a large library... and a boggle:
It seems like everything I throw at XBMC plays great, but every once in a while I have something that seems to just not want to play.
In this case, it is a slice of americana: "MALLRATS"
This (and some other files) will begin to play the movie introduction clips (production company advert thingie), and they seem to "jerk" along. Then when it gets to the actual movie... Nothing.
If I use the skip forward feature, I will see frames / still of the film, but it will not play
I list all the following below, so that I am just not overlooking something that should tell me " Hey! it's THIS !!!"
Please review, and let me know if I need to provide a log file.
THX !

If anyone would like to test the actual file, it is at: http://tinyurl.com/7ezgylk
(listed ONLY for testing purposes, or for checking the encoding info)
HOWEVER... I have also had a problem playing this: http://tinyurl.com/7stvylc
"Black Sheep" in an MP4 format.
The system on which I am trying to run this is:

Win7 Ultimate 64, Zotac MB with an Nvidia GeForce 9300 chip on the motherboard (512MB dedicated to graphics via bios), Screen resolution 1920x1080@24Hz
HDMI out to Onkyo TX-SR805 (which supports DTS HD-MA) connected to Panasonic 65"

XBMC Settings:

Allow Hardwarte Acceleration (DXVA2) -- ON
Adjust display rate -- OFF
Sync Playback to display -- OFF
