Most HQ plasma and LCD TV's default to 4:2:2 (cheap ones don't always).
Also, connecting your computer to your TV through an AVR will often do similar colorspace conversions with the same fubar results. Connect your machine directly to the TV with a HDMI cable.
Thanks for your reply. I've consulted google in the meantime... Regarding the changing pixelformat/color mismatch behaviour it seems an ATI-related issue. But i'm now wondering why this only happens in the DSCoded XBMC but not in the "normal"-XBMC. DSCoded (or ffdshow respectively) must do something different to XBMC-normal and also MPC-HC...
