You could try enabling EXA (I tried this a month ago and my X server
promptly crashed on login, but I'm pretty sure that's been fixed.).  Or
tell your video players to use plain x11 instead of xv (which is what I
did).

You'll need to

  echo SKIP_CHECKS=yes > .config/compiz/compiz-manager

to disable Ubuntu's compiz blacklist.
