The problems I'm having is while watching liveTV, and I bring up the EPG, the smaller TV picture in the corner will stutter.  A couple seconds after bringing up the guide, it will be fine.  Then, after each up/down arrow press to browse the guide will result in the same stutter, level out, stutter, level out, stutter, level out, etc. It works, but is very annoying.

Happens on any VDPAU profile.. happens on any content (1080i, standard-def (which actually is worse believe it or not)).

This is not much help but I'm having the same issue too. 0.24 was fine but on 0.26 every time I press the mouse while the EPG is up the picture stutters. I kind of just deal with it but it's got to the stage where I'm contemplating going back to 0.24 because it's so annoying.
