I'll bet my car on that your TV supports both 50Hz and 60Hz as that is a part of the HD-ready standard. That doesn't mean your TV supports 25Hz signal. XBMC only switch to fps that is reported to work with your TV from the OS, so ether your TV reports wrong to the OS or you have added a frequency manually for your graphic card that isn't supported for your TV.
Try to remove your graphic card driver and then reinstall the latest one so it will cleans the supported frequency.

TV: Panasonic TC-P65V10
Video Card: Nvidia GT 220
Video Driver: 195.62 WHQL 64bit
Cable: Generic HDMI Cable 3'
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
CPU: Intel Core i7 920
RAM: 6GB DDR3
XBMC: Camelot Final
I'll post a screenshot of the Nvidia control panel's resolution screen. It has a list of compatible resolutions and then at the bottom under a section titled "PC" it has the 25/50hz resolution which results in the black screen upon usage.
Thanks

@tret: "Cable: Generic HDMI Cable 3' ". Is that 3 meters?
I'll looked it up and your TV supports 50Hz. But you get a picture in 60Hz but not in 50Hz right?

I use MPC, which has an automatic refresh adjustment built in. It only stutters some times. That can be canceled by just opening the options menu and closing it again.
Another option i would know is to use reclock.

Hi
I've got XBMC on an Acer Revo R1360 running Windows 7 x46. Really struggling to get judder free playback for PAL DVD ISO's. I can't get playback at anything other than 24Hz. How should this work?
I'm using a plasma screen (Pioneer PDP-507) hooked up by HDMI. Nvidia control panel doesn't seem to show 50Hz options and won't let me add them as custom resolutions. Is this the route of my problems? Should XBMC be able to play back at different rates dependent on source, or is it locked to desktop settings?
I have latest SVN build and have selected options to match source rate and sync with display rates etc.
Thanks
