The Intel HD 2000 integrated graphics hold a poor HQV score (about 130), compared to 191 for the HD 3000 series graphics, but somehow, the Intel graphics still have some issues with certain encoding.
The 9400m graphics found in previous Mac Mini's do not show these kind of issues, this explains the results.
The Mac Mini 2011 with AMD HD 6630M graphics will NOT show the same results.
unfortunately the AMD version is $799 which is considerably more than the $549 for the macmini 2010 which also doesn't experience these problems
