Confirmed on fully updated Hardy AMD64 with proprietary nv driver.

The problem seems to be related to 'xv' (hardware video scaling). Temporary fix is to use sofware/OpenGL video scaling.
For gstreamer applications (Totem etc):
1) 'gstreamer-properties'
2) Under Video tab, choose Plugin: 'X Window System (No Xv)'

For mplayer:
1) Pick a video out format that is not 'xv'; preferably 'x11', 'gl' or 'gl2' using 'mplayer -vo <format> somemovie.avi'.
