    It's flickering right? Disable compiz (under appearance, effects(?) tab, choose none) that stopped the flickering for me.

    3D and video are often in conflict on Linux, unfortunately. Try different video drivers in your player, see if those change the game (try xv, gl2, x11, etc.). Those are usually under the advanced settings.
