I'm still experiencing this issue on a fresh Windows 8 install.

That fixes the choppiness for me. However, the screen will go black and XBMC will freeze if you try to tab to the desktop while a video is playing, so I'm just launching all my videos with MPC-HC for now.

Thanks for the suggestion. This actually works very well; however, I'm not experiencing any issues tabbing to the desktop like you.

OK, you must be using software to decode. I just tested it using DXVA and it froze, tried software and it works fine. There's the problem. I need DXVA though as my cpu is too slow to play most videos smoothly.

I'm pretty sure I'm using hardware to decode.
Edit: confirmed using DXVA2 to render

@StinDaWg: This works for me too: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=154503. Have you tried it?

Same issues here with a HD5450. Latest drivers and XBMC in Win 7.
Navigating menu is choppy. Playing a 720p MKV movie starts with stutter and then comes good.
It has happened 3 times with 2 movies but after say an hour or so of watching the screen flickers with green and a whole range of colour thin lines all over the screen appears and its impossible to navigate. Power button hold reboot is needed to reboot Win 7. Could be unrelated to the menu nav issue.

Unfortunately I don't have any big suggestions for you besides what's already posted here. I had luck doing two things:
1) upgrading to Windows 8
2) swapping out my Mac Mini
I ended up "upgrading" to an older Mac Mini with a discrete graphics card instead of the built-in Intel graphics. I have not had any problems since.
