Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and replace Driver "i810" with "vesa".
Save file and reboot machine. You must have root privileges to edit that file.
In case it doesn't work ( X Server doesn't even start sometimes ), just press Alt+Ctrl+F1, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and set "i810" again.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

1.- vesa will be very slow, even on modern machines, so use the driver for your video card (i810)

3.- beryl/compiz sometimes has (or had) problem with video players, so, turn off this useless eyecandy while doing tests.

Start your media player from CLI, for instance MPlayer spits out lots of useful information when invoked from CLI.
