Below is a short video example of my problem. If you kick it to full screen and watch in HiDef, you might be able to notice the video kind of "jumps" once a second. (I could not really tell on this YouTube upload, but it is VERY visible on our screen!)
Oh, this can be annoying!
Why is it doing this? I have tried enabling the Deinterlace feature, but my Atom processor and NVIDIA ION graphics card can not handle that. The video quality turns horrible.
What can I try?

Deinterlacing of HD works fine on my Atom/ION.
What OS are you using?
I can't see the video atm, but have you tried playing with the Vsync/Blank settings in XBMC (can't remember exactly where they are) - I recall that these could cause some tearing of videos.

Ya know, I thought I'd look at burning a Flash Card with that OpenELEC thing to test it out.
I downloaded the OpenELEC version for the Atom/ION machines.
The directions said to put the installer on a USB drive, boot to that, and install to the Flash Card.
The Atom/ION machine did not want to boot to the USB drive, even though I had that set in the BIOS, so I moved over to my Core2 Duo development PC.
Something went wrong. Way wrong.
When it rebooted to the USB drive, there was no prompt asking where I wanted it installed to.
In less than 15 seconds, I got to watch OpenELEC re-partition the primary HDD on my development PC, then state it was ready for a reboot.
What's worse is since this version of OpenELEC was specific to the Atom/ION machines, it would not even load on my development PC.
That hard drive is fried.
I don't think I'll be trying OpenELEC again anytime in the foreseeable future.
