Sam, I read somewhere there may be issues with straight DVD rips that aren't transcoded to H.264. Do you have any that you can test and verify if there are any issues with playback?
EDIT: Nevermind, it appears posted a video a few posts ago that answers my question! Thanks guys!

Tried raspbmc yesterday and was bit surprised about the python addon speed. Rough compare between openelec and raspbmc:
* Relative same gui responsive with dirty region 3 turned on
* Much much faster python addon speed with raspbmc which managed to finish in around 3 seconds instead of 20 seconds
* raspbmc is less polished, i.e. xbmc was started from /etc/rc.local and no HOME folder was set etc.

I disagree with the view of it being less polished. Launching from an init script isn't necessary, would produce output on console. There is a home directory in that XBMC content is stored in ./xbmc/.
Raspbmc does not use DRR and will not benefit from it

Remember guys, both OpenELEC and Raspbmc just started out on RPi, so give it a little bit to work the kinks out :D
