You are providing information, but no settings or configuration settings.
I know. Working as developer my self I know I'm a "bad user" right now. Okey, here's the setup for my HTPC:
C2D E6400 (2.13ghz), Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H (Chipset: nForce 630i, Graphics: Geforce 7100), 2gb PC6400. The motherboard has an HDMI-out that I use to connect it to an Samsung 40" A6-lcd (1920x1080).
When I ran Intrepid Ibex (8.10) I installed the latest nvidia-driver and then forced vsync in the Nvidia control panel (there where a couple of occurances scattered in the control panel, but I ticked them all). When running XBMC I tried setting vsync to off, on and use settings from driver. All gave the jitters.
The same hardware running XP with newest drivers gave the exact same result. As did running both Linux and Vista on a C2D E8500 (3,16ghz), Asus P5B (Intel P965), 4gb PC6400 and a Radeon HD4870 with latest drivers.
Then I tried installing the latest XBMC on my MacBook Pro (2,4ghz penryn, GeForce 8600M GT, 4GB PC6700) and voilá! It worked.
Most of my test-files are in the, hm, legal gray-zone - but you can try this movie (gives the same result) http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/hd/bbc-blue.html.
I can get you more details if you need. No more Linux, though. I reinstalled the HTPC with XP since I couldn't get the audio working with HDMI, and my Ubuntu Live-stick died a tragic death yesterday. I can't even repartition it.
