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.

I tried that before I replied.... command not found.
I have XBMC live... will apt-get install it?

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?

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?

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.
