The Problem is, that the graphics unit of the Ivy Bridge can't handle 24p material very good.
So the options are A10-5700 or i3-3240T + 6570 (that combines the CPU power of the Ivy and the GPU power of the AMD).

Wut
That's actually does make sense XD2. 24p refers to 24 frames per second (or 23.976 fps) progressive scan. Sandy Bridge outputs 23.976p as 24p, causing frames to be repeated, which drives hardcore htpc builders nuts. This is a big issue since this is the standard framerate for all movies and even some TV shows now. However Ivy bridge did fix this issue so I don't completely know what Crix is referring to. Source:

It looks like the OP is planning to build a small low power HTPC. Which explains why he's considering a T edition cpu (low power edition) or an APU.
Why AMD for the GPU though Crix? What about nvidia? Can you give us any more details about what you're planning on building here?
The problem is, that Intel does not fix the bug with Ivy.
Ivy runs about 23.9728 fps (better but still poor).
AMD runs with 23.9758 (the best you can get).
What I want to vreate is a "perfect" HTPC
(my planed settings (there is a Crucial M4 I want to use, too)).
It should be a nice benefit to run Dolphin out of Mediaportal (there is a plugin for Dolphin.
Sure, the HTPC should run as quiet as possible, so I want to use low power components (but without loosing too much power).

I thought maybe he was talking about resolution, but forgot a 0, but that still didn't make sense :p
Well the problem is, that asyncron (in the case of Ivy, because the video runs too slow).
So you playback software have to drop or double a frame, whenever the delay gets bigger than 0.5 frame to keep both syncron.
And that is what you see as a short shutter.
You're not going to notice the difference between one frame out of 300 being doubled (about 1 frame every 12 and a half seconds) and one frame out of every 5,000 being doubled (about 1 frame every 3 minutes).
But regardless of that you haven't answered my question(s) yet:

I guess you already know the answer . He will choose AMD CPU and AMD GPU because he's AMD fanboy
I doubt he's an AMD fanboy. I may not know much about him but the stuff he's said so far is quite logical. I'm just genuinely curious if he's looked at other options or not.
Anyway . He better choose A10 5700k or A10 5800k plus a decent heatsink
Overclocking definitely give him much better performance .
