OK... so that would imply that my mate who ripped this for me used the wrong settings.
On a side note tho - it works fine when played on an AppleTV from an iTunes library.

looks like it gets the AVC video wrong. Since you are under linux, try playing it with ffplay and see what it does.
noob time again davilla.... how do I use ffplay? I've had a quick search before asking, but can find nothing...
Thanks in advance..

ffplay is a command-line app.
man ffplay
ffplay -i <filename>
I tried that before I replied.... command not found.
I have XBMC live... will apt-get install it?

Ahh, yes XBMC live. Might be more trouble than it's worth as the real problem seems like you have some wacky rips. I would check some other "problem" videos and see if they also have similar audio/video settings.
davilla might be right, your rips seem to be in a very unusual format that XBMC obviously doesn't like that much. not worth the trouble
So my best option would be to make an XBMCbuntu style build?

no, get some decently ripped video files
I have 300 that have been ripped like this ..... as stated above they work fine on my appletv which isn't running XBMC but is a lot less powerful than my Revo.
Is a Linux install that isn't based on XBMC live likely to make a difference?

No, a Linux install just gives you more options, none of which will help.
The AppleTV will ignore the second video stream, the fact that it plays the first video stream just means that it does not care that it's not quite correct. Since the AppleTV uses quicktime and xbmc uses ffmpeg makes this irrelevant.
To resolve this, we would have to find out why ffmpeg is having problems with this video content. Since you have a Macbook Pro, does XBMC for Mac have a similar problem, it should as both XBMC Live and XBMC for Mac both use ffmpeg.
OK.. I have some news....
I'm actually doing this for a friend so didn't encode any of these myself and am working kind of blind because he doesn't know much about codecs.
The Incredible Hulk seems to be protected - it asks for a password when opened in quicktime.
One of the other 3 I've been testing is corrupted - it won't play in anything.
The 3rd film works fine - if you don't try the other 2 first. If you try either of the others and then try the third film the system gets all crazy - this probably applies to any film.
I'm going to test with more films tonight....
Thanks for everybody's help so far.
Pete
Where did you guys purchase your Revos?
Amazon has the best price in the UK.....
