sorry, from that configuration alone I can't tell you what's going wrong.
When I started to setup my VDPAU machines (end of last year) I first made sure that the Xserver really is running a 50Hz modeline. I mostly play 25/50Hz streams. This way I found an Xserver bug/misbehavior. Only if I explicitly set the modeline params manually in xorg.conf I get real 50Hz output (instead of 60Hz). Please see attached my xorg.conf. Always try:
DISPLAY=:0 nvidia-settings --query RefreshRate
to verify. Even the Xorg.0.log lies about the fact that 50Hz are active but in reality it uses 60Hz. Maybe nVidia has fixed that in the meantime.
After this tuning to a channel with live ticker gives me perfect results. There is not any judder at all.
The problem with all this juddering is that the symptom 'judder' alone gives you no hint at all about the root cause of the problem.
Maybe you first verify your current nvidia-settings result.
