Wow, that's a BIG video (resolution).  If you're using fluvasink (and
fluvadec), you'll probably need a lot of free video RAM.  That seems
to be a downside of hardware acceleration such as VDPAU.  I had a
similar problem playing a 1280x720 H.264 video with fluvadec and
fluvasink on an NVIDIA GPU with only 128 MB of video RAM.  It crashed
until I disabled X's Composite extension to free up some video RAM.
Even after I got it working, 128 MB was just barely enough.  If you're
using an NVIDIA GPU, you can use the nvidia-smi program to see how
much video RAM is available and in use.
