That's a huge problem (artifacts during VC1 progressive)... there are MANY good BDs that have VC1 encoding, I don't plan on re-encoding them just because Intel can't get their act together.
Some of them include little known franchises such as The Matrix, Bourne, Batman, Harry Potter, along with other awesome movies like Hot Fuzz, The Shining and a heckuva lot more. I have about 500 BDs and probably 1/5 of them are VC1.
VC1s (both progressive and interlaced) decode just fine with XBMC's software decoders, only Intel's hardware APIs are bad. The settings fritsch posted earlier for OE gotham nightlies (and soon XBMC mainline thanks to his PR) solve for that problem just fine. All your BDs with VC1 should play just fine with software decode for VC1...
There must be some drawback to software decoding otherwise no one would use hardware decoding.
