The difference between vdr-sxfe and XBMC you're experiencing could be due to differences in the deinterlacing setting. You didn't say what your graphics card is, but the sort of low-power fanless card most of us like to have in an HTPC can't manage the higher quality options. The default for libxine is "temporal", which my lowly 8200 is too slow for in HD (but OK in SD), so I had to use this setting:
video.output.vdpau_hd_deinterlace_method:bob
I was amazed at how good it looks, although I've only tried it at 720p output so far, not at 1080p. I thought I was going to have to add at least a GT210 PCI-E card, but it looks like that's going to be unnecessary.
I actually currently have deinterlacing disabled on both xineliboutput and XBMC.
