H264 problems with DXVA - pseudoheld - 2012-02-24

I have a video file that is encoded, according to vlc:

Codec: h264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part10) (avc1)
Res: 720x406

When i try and play it in XBMC latest beta with dxva on i get severe pixel errors, making it unwatchable.
playing the same file with dxva off gives no problem at all.
vlc also plays it with no problems.
here is a screenshot of the pixelation with the codec info provided by xbmc:

Any ideas?

Some Intel GPUs are known to have issues with DXVA - what is your graphics hardware? You may have to disable DXVA.

I have an amd e350 which plays real nice with all other hw accelerated formats.
Wouldn't like to disable it because it comes in real handy with HD content.

I understand there have been recent driver updates for that - worth searching for if you're not up to date already. I believe they're about 3 weeks old.
