I ran several tests on both systems now with different movies
Here's an example:
1.) On my HTPC the Zotac ND22
http://www.silverstorm.ch/temp/xbmc_zota...freeze.log
The movie froze
2.) On my main computer
http://www.silverstorm.ch/temp/xbmc_alie...freeze.log
No freeze.
In general it seems that on my main computer where I don't want to watch movies, less freezes occur and on my HTPC, more occur.
It's so difficult to test and especially to get some sense out of the logs....

All the movies I tested so far are mkv files. My movie collection is about 700 movies big and 90% are mkv files. If I'd had to recode all my movies to mp4, I'd rather throw the HTPC and XBMC away.
It can't be that XBMC is not able to play mkv files properly. There are thousands of XBMC users (of course much more I guess) and somehow it seems that we are the only ones with the problem. I can't believe that all the other users just watch mp4 files.
The strange thing is that I can replay a movie which froze the first time I've watched it.... and the second time everything is fine, no freeze.
Right now what bothers me is that my main computer seems to have less troubles with XBMC than my HTPC .
Anyway I don't know what else I can still do, I have no ideas anymore. I will test one of my mp4 files for you though to see if a freeze or errors occur on this file.
