just a quick note about the revo:

as of today, my stuttering/buffering problems are gone. 720p MKVs with DTS or AC3 passthrough over HDMI play perfect. the problem is, I don't know exactly what I did to make them disappear.
prior with the live distribution, I had these buffering problems no matter if I assigned 256 or 512MB VRAM, so I tried installing XBMCbuntu with newest nvidia drivers according to the how-to, still the same jerky playback. today I flashed the newest BIOS revision P06 and directly set the vram to 512MB. HDMI audio in windows still worked (was broken in previous BIOS revisions, see my other post) and I booted into my XBMCbuntu installation, started a 720p MKV and lo and behold! perfect playback!
I'm not sure what exactly caused the buffering messages to disappear, but I guess that prior to the new BIOS revision, maybe the 512MB setting was ignored by XBMC/linux/the nvidia driver/whatever. later on I will switch back to Auto/256MB and see if the buffering messages are coming back (I'd bet on it), but for now I'm really glad everything finally works as it is supposed to. the only thing left is that .m2ts files are a little out of sync and dropping some frames in spite of the CPU load being very low.

one last remark: as windows with haali and MPC HC can run HD MKVs smoothly with "only" 256MB VRAM assigned, I think XBMC should also be able to do so... now if I only could get windows to passthrough DTS via HDMI... Wink
