I've got a recurring problem on my HTPC running Ubuntu 10.10. Whenever playing any sort of video on pieces where there's a lot of action or camera panning the video looks like it's lagging. Parts of the frame/picture get redrawn in blocks and so it looks a little choppy. This problem occurs on both SD and HD content.
The machine is hooked up to a TV via HDMI. I'm running on up to date drivers of 260.190.06 and the screen is configured to LG 32LG300 1360x768 @ 59.80Hz.
Any one have any ideas why the video looks like it's having problems refreshing quickly enough?

an intel atom probably can't keep up. it would be better to use it as a fileserver and get something like a blu-ray player or a media box to play the video to the tv.
