That would make sense based on James' comment of the 3:2 pull down not
being needed on a PAL system.

My brief test has show it playing fine in VLC.  I'll give VLC a longer
test tonight.

The position seems to be random but it does happen frequently.

This does seem to be a recent occurrence however I could not say when
it started.  If I find myself with some free time I may pull the
original 0.26 release and see if that makes a difference.  We've
watched Inception before without issues (but it's been a while).

The .mkv made from the disk has no issues at all.

I've not made any hardware changes.  I have updated nvidia drivers but
I've also tried rolling them back to older versions with no
improvements.
