Just solved it... for real this time... I've been watching DVDs for a
few hours now, spread out over three days.  No wierd artifacts this
time.

I replaced the motherboard.  Same problem.

I swapped out the RAM.  Same problem.

That left only the CPU.

I pulled out the old Duron 650 and replaced it with Fry's cheapest
Athlon chip - the 2000+ ($69 - damn Fry's!).

No more problems, everything works great, and video encodes about three
times as quick.
