Comment 9 for bug 162664

I just realized I didn't have this problem anymore on Intrepid. I'm using VLC with the XVideo extension, and everything seems to just work: video quality is good, and the window is properly transformed (including transparency and task switching).

I'm not sure if it's the Compiz guys or the Intel driver people (I've got one of those GMA9** things), but somebody did a great job :)

Matthias, did you check if the video extension is enabled in Compiz?
