That is no surprise if you are decoding HD via VDPAU and SD via CPU as
you said in another post in this thread...
The Atom CPU isn't that beafy (depending on what postprocessing and
which kind of compositing etc pp is running in addition it might be
simply to slow for decoding SD video in software)

Does SD video + guide browsing work if you let the chip decode the
video via VDPAU?

Are the glitches only with HD(VDPAU) or with HD(VDPAU) and SD(software)
playback?

As this is happening on 0.24, what playback profile is that?
Quote from 0.25 changelog:
| Removes CPU++, CPU+, and CPU-- playback profile groups [4cd8186]
| Systems set to use any of these profiles groups are changed to use
|  the default group, "Normal"
| Changes users' custom profiles to replace XvMC and libmpeg2 decoders
|  with standard (ffmpeg) and XvMC video renderer with Xv (xv-blit) and
|  ia44blend OSD renderer with softblend.
| Set default on new setups to "Normal"

The libmpeg2 decoding has known issues, might make sense to check your
settings to avoid them. Maybe the raw bitstream from your provider is
triggering some of these issues.
