1340 Integrated Video and DVD/video driver problem
Using the newest driver offered from Dell, when playing DVDs or any other video the GPU can accelerate, when using only the integrated card (in balanced mode) videos play blocky and generally look horrible. If the computer is switched to "high performance" to bring the dedicated 9200m online, the video plays fine. Also, if the mode is changed while the DVD is running, it won't switch to sli since a program is using the GPU, the video starts playing fine, even though it's still on the 9400m. The problem is fixed with Dox drivers, but it doesn't run the games I play as well, so hopefully Dell can fix it in the next (hopefully soon to be released) driver update.

Just to confirm that I am experiencing the exact same issue with my new SXPS 13. There is something wrong with the current Dell driver.
The terrible video quality almost looks like an interlacing problem as the picture is broken by horizontal lines.

Hey, are you using Media Player Classic by any chance?
I found that by setting the playback output to EVR cleaned up the "blockiness" issue I was having.

I have noticed the problem in MPC, WMP, VLC and others - it's totally player-independent as far as I can tell so that is why I suspect the drivers. I tried EVR too but it made no difference. I am using the 32 bit Vista driver. No problems at all when I boot Win 7 with the 64 bit driver.

This problem is fixed by doing this: Do to advanced power setting go to PCI express: go to: link state power management: TURN IT OFF!
Problem solved! this problem mostly occurs when the ac adapter isnt plugged in, when u are connected to power cord all settings should run good! it runs bad only when its not plugged in! And this is fixed by following the steps that I just said!
BTW I over clocked my 9400 M G card and overclocked my processor from 2.4 to 2.74 and it runs very stable, now I need only custom cooling options!

Doesn't fix the issue for me. When I first installed Windows 7 RC, windows update pulled down nvidia drivers and all was well. I just did a reinstall and windows update doesn't find any nvidia drivers. I'm stuck with Dell's drivers again and this frustrating interlacing issue is back. It really doesn't look like it would be hard to fix Dell. Anyone?
