Intel iMac video problems
Apple is investigating reports of video problems in the new Intel iMacs, which the company unveiled in early January at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco. Recent reports claim that some users have experienced random horizontal lines and other video playback problems when playing video in Front Row, according to Macworld UK. "Apple is aware of this issue and is looking into it," the company said in an email. "If a customer has any technical issues, they should contact AppleCare." The problem is apparently software-based.

THe fix seems to be known
It seems like that the fix to this problem is known. According to a website (link below) there are two different OS versions shipping with the new iMacs. One of them can cause this problem, while the other one does not. Installing the other OS version on the affected machines seems to be fixing the issue.
