I also encountered this intermittent stutter with the same scenario, XBMC Live (xbmcfreak) Ion system, ripped Blu-ray of Avatar.
Never found out the root cause of it, even with the smooth video fix that is posted in this forum elsewhere.
The strange thing was
* An x264 encode @ CQ18 I made of the movie plays fine as do other Blu-ray's.
* The Blu-ray Avatar run through MakeMKV plays fine on a Realtek 1073DD chipset player.
* Thinking it was a problem with MakeMKV I manually ripped the Blu-ray to an MKV container using AnyDVD-HD, Blu-ray Stream Extractor and MKVmerge and it still stuttered.
Never figured it out and the quality is excellent on the x264 encode so I stuck with that.
Edit: Missed that >>X<<, ignore me then nothing to do with your problem MrCarbo.

I assume "shared memory" set to 512?
with the standard (old?) Revo and asrock ion 330 the 911Live repack plays killa sample ok with no tinkering provided bios set up correctly and not playing blue r rip over the net.
If this one does not I can only assume it needs a diff driver.

I still wait for a confirmation about which codec is shown when pressing "o" or did I miss that?

well then, everything looks fine, XBMC is using VDPAU but it's still stuttering... I'm out of ideas at the moment.

Perhaps someone could point you to an standard ubuntu live distro with the correct Nvidia drivers for VDPAU, you could test the file/files in Gnome Mplayer or SMPlayer or the like?
That way you could eliminate XBMC/XBMCLive as the cause, it may be a problem with the Revo (the shimmering artifacts sound like a similar problem i had with my 360 overheating way back when . . .)
Just thinking outloud?
Playing with XBMC on all platforms :)

Are all other revo users using x86 version of Linux... and what dist are they using? Is everyone using 9.10,9.11 or 10.04?

have you already tried XBMCfreaks live distro? the revo is probably the most-used and best supported atom&ION system out there, so if your revo keeps having these symptoms it really might be faulty hardware

You could try sync display to audio clock, in your video settings,
