Unfortunately not many people here will be able to help you much because the 
nvidia drivers are proprietary. I would recommend one of the nVidia graphics 
forums where you are more likely to have more people who use those drivers.

I do have this suggestion, though: check that Xv is operating properly. You 
can discern this e.g. from the console output of Mplayer or commands such 
as 'xvinfo'.

HTH.
